=Portable Data for Imaging (PDI)= This [|profile] defines how images are stored and transported on portable media. The original profile defines this for CDs. The profile has recently been extended to include USB and DVD media, as well as definitions on the compression and encryption of images. Vendors will need to read the [|extensions] closely and advise which components of the PDI profile they wish to test.

It is essential that participants register their companies and systems in the [|Kudu] tool and become thoroughly familiar with it prior to the Connectathon. The Kudu site contains all information detailing what tests need to be conducted prior to and during the event. The site is informative, but complex and assumes a good understanding of the the IHE standards.
 * Preparation prior to the Connectathon: **

The overall sequence of events is to:
 * 1) Register your company and systems in Kudu
 * 2) Verify that your system is ready for the event.
 * If you intend to test as a //Portable Media Creator// actor, then at least run your media through the [|MESA Test] software. (This link is also available through the Kudu tool.) There are a number of MESA tools - you only need to use the ones for PDI. The tool runs on Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP; it has not been tested on Vista; use on a Mac OS X or other platform would require a Windows virtual machine to be running on those platforms.
 * If you intend to test as one of the consumer of portable media actors, please download the [|RSNA2005] test CD and confirm that you can read all images on this CD.
 * 1) Become familiar with the [|Kudu] tool particularly the following sections accessed through the menu on the left of each Kudu page:
 * Configuration
 * Connectathon
 * 1) The moderators will brief participants at the event on day 1 on how to go about the testing.
