If you passed DICOMS directly to recon-all, then the only place that would have subject info would be the scripts/recon-all.log file; that file would captures the conversion, and the subject name and date of scan will show up there (might be some other info stored in the dicom file that gets printed out, not sure). I am assuming that you did not use the person's name as the FreeSurfer subject ID.

Hi,

I'm involved in a project that requires anonymizing FreeSurfer data to remove all patient information. I've found that the subject folder number is sometimes included in text files and logs in a FreeSurfer folder. Is there any patient information stored in any of the non-text files? Is there a way I could check other files for any stored patient information?

Thanks,

Sarah
