Anonymize Dicom data from code

#1 Post by IThirunarayanan »

Hello dcmtk team,

Is there a way to anonymize Dicom data using dcmtk from code rather than with the dcmodify app?

Thanks.

Hi,

unfortunately we do not have any anonymization routines in DCMTK that you could call. You could use the dcmodify code base (mdfdsman.cc) as a basis but it is probably easier to directly use the API provided by DcmItem directly.

Note that good anonymization takes some effort. See the Attribute Confidentiality Profiles in DICOM part 15 for more information.

Best regards,
Michael
