OsiriX Anonymisation
How to SET UP Customised anonymisation within OsiriX
We can Rename or Anonymise DICOM studies using the
Anonymisation Icon in the toolbar of the database window, which can be easily configured
You can configure this setting only if you are running version 3.8.1 and above
I have attached snapshots of my settings below looking out for patient identifiable DICOM tags
Click on the Anonymise Icon----You will get a popup window similar to the one attached below,although with lesser tags
Click on Select a DICOM tag and find the ones that I have added from the dropdown options from-Sorted by Name
Then highlight the tag and click the + button
Do this for all the tags and click + every time you add a new tag
Replace PATIENT NAME, PATIENT ID and Study Instance UID with your CODE
Once it matches the Image 01 above, Click SAVE and Give the Name-LIBRARY
You can create multiple such protocols to suit your needs, example below
Next time when you want to rename or anonymise a case, all you need to do is --click the Anonymisation icon
Select from the dropdown menu----select protocol----change to next incremental digit
Then Click Replace---You will get a prompt asking do you want to delete the study---select ok
This will erase the DICOM Tags, rename your study and add it to the database as a new study
Note: If you click Add, this will add the case as a new case into the database without deleting the original case
