Radiology Integration Testing — Early Stage

Catch HL7 and DICOM failures before production

Simulate a full HL7/DICOM workflow synthetically. Catch mismatches, mapping failures, and load issues before they hit production, without a live clinical system on either side.

Overview

Vendor-independent acceptance testing.

Capture your real workflow once and replay it against any new vendor.

Test HL7, MWL, DICOM, and MPPS without coordinating a live session or paying for a duplicate test stream. Built for PACS Administrators, imaging IT analysts, and integration engineers.

The Problem

Every new vendor becomes a manual test project.

Teams coordinate live sessions, send test data by hand, and verify outcomes manually — Wireshark, Notepad++, spreadsheets. The same failures surface every time.

Weeks
Of manual coordination across three parties
$000s
Spent on duplicate test environments and setup
Dozens
Of manual validation steps repeated during go-live prep
Repeated
For every new vendor, upgrade, and interface change
Proposed Approach

Set up once — reuse across every future vendor

A reusable validation workflow that simulates a full radiology integration stack without real systems on either side.

Current Stage

Discovery: problem confirmed

20+ conversations with imaging IT teams across hospital, IDN, and vendor environments. Same story every time: manual process, lead tech dependency, bugs in production. No one named a tool that automates any part of it.

We are now building the first version and selecting design partners.

Roadmap

Where we are

Early, intentional. We are talking to the people who feel the pain before writing a line of code. Design partners shape what gets built.

The Solution

Visual workflow editor. Real protocol testing.

Build a test workflow as a sequence of HL7 and DICOM steps. Run it hundreds of times with generated patient data. Every cycle logs the exact assertion failure — before anything touches production.

Canvas

Visual workflow editor

Place step nodes on a canvas: send a new ORM, send an MWL query, DICOM C-Store, wait for an ORU result. Connect them with routing branches for success, timeout, and error paths.

Step configuration

Protocol-native settings

Configure each step with host, port, AE title, and timeout. Bind it to an HL7 or DICOM template, then add assertions that verify response fields against the generated patient context.

Run analysis

Cycle-level inspection

Execute 1 to 1,000 cycles at configurable concurrency. Inspect any cycle: see the synthesized patient data (MRN, accession, patient name) and the exact assertion that failed, with the two values that didn't match.

Reusable test scenarios

Save the exact validation workflow and rerun it after every change.

Run-level validation reports

See which cycles passed, which failed, and the exact assertions behind each failure.

Automatic mismatch detection

Catch accession, MRN, DOB, and procedure-code errors before production.

Step setup wizard

Every node is configured through a three-stage wizard — connection details, message template, and routing rules.

Step setup — General settings
Problem Validation

Everyone described the same process.

"We use Wireshark and Notepad++ to manually verify every message. It takes days and we still find things on go-live night."

PACS Administrator — Large Hospital System

"The lead tech is the only one who knows how to run the tests. If they're unavailable, testing stops completely."

Imaging Informatics Analyst — IDN

"We've never done real load testing before go-live. We just trust the vendor and hope for the best. Usually it's fine. Sometimes it isn't."

Design Partners

Validate your integration stack before production — not after.

We are selecting 5–8 design partners to build the first version around. You bring the real workflows. We build the tool that automates the testing your team runs today by hand.

  • Shape the first reusable validation workflow around your real environment
  • Reduce manual retesting for vendor changes, upgrades, and interface edits
  • Get early access to realistic regression scenarios before general release
  • Your failure points drive the roadmap — not guesses
  • Direct access to the team during design partner rollout

About

What this is.

A tool for radiology IT teams that eliminates the need for live clinical systems during integration testing. Built in direct response to conversations with PACS admins, imaging informatics analysts, and integration engineers.
