Radiology Bandwidth Calculator accuracy and testing

This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.

Formula source

  • Required Mbps = studies per day * average study GB * 8192 / transfer window seconds * peak multiplier * (1 + overhead percent / 100).

Test cases

Default input regression check

Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.

Inputs

  • Studies per Day: 300
  • Average Study Size: 0.35 GB
  • Transfer Window: 8 hours
  • Peak Multiplier: 1.5 x
  • Overhead Buffer: 20%

Expected outputs

  • Required Bandwidth: 53.76 Mbps
  • Average Bandwidth: 29.87 Mbps
  • Peak Adjusted Bandwidth: 44.8 Mbps
  • Daily Data Volume: 0.1 TB

Known limitations

  • This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
  • Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.

Assumptions

  • 1 GB is converted to 8192 megabits.
  • Study volume is averaged across the selected transfer window before peak and overhead factors are applied.
  • The result is an operational estimate and does not replace network engineering validation.

Unit handling

  • Studies per Day accepts numeric values.
  • Average Study Size accepts values in GB.
  • Transfer Window accepts values in hours.
  • Peak Multiplier accepts values in x.
  • Overhead Buffer accepts values in %.
  • Required Bandwidth is displayed in Mbps.
  • Average Bandwidth is displayed in Mbps.
  • Peak Adjusted Bandwidth is displayed in Mbps.
  • Daily Data Volume is displayed in TB.

Rounding rules

  • Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
  • Input precision follows configured step values where provided.
