What our customers think
DICOM validation
“softgate validated the DICOM interface of our PIEZOLITH 3000plus in 2016. The collaboration was friendly and efficient and produced results – the validation report that softgate presented revealed some errors that would have caused serious problems in practice. Since we fixed the errors and released the software, the DICOM interface of the PIEZOLITH 3000plus has been working reliably in numerous worldwide facilities.”

DICOM validation
Are you planning to use a DICOM interface in your product? With an extensive collection of testing tools, we simulate communication partners and assess the conformity and practicality of your configuration as well as the quality of your DICOM conformance statement.
What validation involves:
- Compliance of your DICOM network interface with the DICOM standard, in particular the behavior of your system in the event of unexpected events (timeouts, error messages from the remote site). To this end, our test environment covers all error situations defined in DICOM.
- Correct transfer of attributes from the work list to images and MPPS messages
- Compliance of DICOM objects generated by your system
- Practicality according to typical workflows (not all optional elements in DICOM can be omitted in practice)
- Consistency of your interfaces with their description in the DICOM conformance statement
