You can use the LONI deidentification debablet to do this:

I'm trying to remove the patient names from dicom files. I was advised to use dcm_modify_elements but it fails on DCM_Openfile.

Is there a straight forward way of doing this?

Thanks Naj

P.S. Doug, I am still looking for the graddir tags :)

We've had some problems with osirix in that it will strip off all the private fields. For siemens mosaics, these are necessary in order to determine the number of slices and the image positions, etc.

Haven't used the latter, but can vouch for the former!

You're absolutely right - the siemens mosaic files return an error in mri_convert after osirix anonymises them, while the single siemens files do not. We've been using mri_convert for siemens DTI data, so weren't playing with mosaics.

The dicom-rewriter plugin for ImageJ worked fine.

Hi Inge,

here is a WEB page for BIRNDUP distribution.

Silvester

Hi Inge,

no, certainly not all the info in the dicoms is preserved (there's a ton), and patient name is not. We have an anonymization procedure that we've developed through the morphometry birn that both fuzzifies dates and such in the patient header and removed identifying features in the MRI. Steve Pieper and Silvester Czanner can tell you more if you're interested.

cheers, Bruce

Is all info from the the dicom headers included in the mgz's throughout the processing stream (eg. Patientname and such)?

Najmeh: Have you found a solution for anonymizing dicoms you are satified with?

Thanks Inge Amlien
