<h3> Special Instructions</h3>  <p>Please use the <em><a href=system_con_object.php target=OBJECT>Objects Information</a></em> page to find out what your peers have uploaded on the central archive </p><h3> Description</h3>  <p>The purpose of this test is to demonstrate the consistent rendering of images, as directed by GSPS objects, between the image display and the image creator.  We are not testing the Q/R of GSPS (cf ARI_GSPS test) and related image objects, though a system may need to use Q/R in order to obtain those objects.  <strong>Participants may combine this test with the ARI_GSPS test; however, two evaluations will still occur (i.e., ARI_GSPS evaluates the Q/R from the IM, while CPI_M_SOFT evaluates the display consistency).</strong></p>  <p>A Modality sends images + GSPS objects either directly to a grouped Image Display/Image Manager, or through an Image Manager of its choice.  If the Image Display under test is not grouped with an Image Manager, then the Modality may use any available archive that supports the Q/R of images + GSPS objects for this purpose.   If the Image Display involved in the test is grouped with (i.e. belongs to the same system as) an Image Manager, then the Modality may send the GSPS and image objects directly to that Image Manager. </p>  <p>The GSPS objects and images sent by the Modality should be of the same genre as those normally generated by the Modality during expected clinical use.  To insure adequate testing of capabilities, the set of GSPS objects should include example at least 15 elements drawn from the following GSPS capabilities: <ol> <li>a selection of display area (i.e., zoom)</li> <li>a spatial transformation (rotation and/or flip)</li> <li>a discernable adjustment to the Modality LUT, if appropriate to the image object</li> <li>a discernable adjustment to the VOI LUT</li> <li>a discernable adjustment to the Presentation LUT</li> <li>a setting of display shutters (extra worthless brownie points to people who do bitmap shutters)</li> <li>text annotation boxes</li> <li>an anchor line associating a text box located in display coordinates with an anchor point in image coordinates</li> <li>graphical objects in image coordinates</li> <li>graphical objects in screen coordinates</li> <li>specification of multiple graphical layers with different suggested colors</li> <li>frame selection, if the associated image object is multi-frame</li> <li>specification of mask and contrast frames for subtraction, if appropriate for the image object</li> <li>a bitmap overlay</li> </ol> </p>   <h3>Evaluation</h3>  <p>The project manager will check the consistent rendering between the Modality and the Image Display.</p>
