<h3>Special Instructions</h3> <p>The Image Fusion profile does not specify how the images are obtained by the Evidence Creator. <br> Images will be available on the Connectathon CENTRAL_ARCHIVE after Modalities complete their FUS_MOD_STORE test.<br> </p> <p>This is a test between Modality and Evidence Creator actors. However, part of the evaluation requires that the result of the fusion performed on the EC be displayed; this, the Image Display is identified as an 'optional' actor (the Display functionality is not evaluated in this test, but a Display system is required to help during the evaluation).</p> <h3>Description </h3> <p>This test case ensures that Evidence Creators can perform registration and blending on images from various imaging modality systems.<br> Evidence Creator actor will store the resulting BSPS and Spatial Registration objects to the Connectathon CENTRAL_ARCHIVE in FUS_EC_STORE. Evidence Creator actors will also directly sending these DICOM objects to Image Manager actors in test FUS_EC_IM. Storage Commitment is tested in that test.</p> <h3>Evaluation</h3> <p>The Connectathon Monitor will ask the <strong>Evidence Creator </strong>to demonstrate in its application:<strong></strong></p> <bl> <li>E1... that it can register to image datasets which do not share a Frame of Reference. It performs translations, rotation and scaling, as required). The Evidence Creator demonstrates its method/algorithms for registration. (Specific methods are not mandated by the profile.) <strong></strong></li> <li>E2... (recommended functionality) that it records the name and description of the method of registration within the Spatial Registration object.<strong></strong></li> <li>E3... it can set the contrast/window settings for the underlying grayscale dataset<strong></strong></li> <li>E4... it can set the windowing and color map for the overlay dataset<strong></strong></li> <li>E5... it can set the transparency for the overlay dataset<strong></strong></li> <bl> <p>The Connectathon Monitor will ask the <strong>Evidence Creator </strong>to identify the <strong>Image Display</strong> system which holds the studies the Evidence Creator used in this test :<strong></strong></p> <bl> <ul> <li>E6...<u>For each study</u>, the Connectathon Monitor will view the fused display on the Image Display system. The Image Display is used to verify that the registration and blending parameters were encoded properly by the Evidence Creator. If the study is not properly displayed, the Connectathon Monitor may ask the Evidence Creator to show the contents of the DICOM attributes in the BSPS and Spatial Registration object to verify that they were properly encoded to help identify the source of the problem.<strong></strong></li> </ul>
