Apply DICOM de-identification profiles and review the result.

Choose a DICOM PS3.15 profile, adjust its rules and review every planned change before export. UID remapping remains consistent within the files processed together.

What it covers

Apply PS3.15 profiles and see each rule before export.

Apply de-identification profiles aligned with DICOM PS3.15 with the exact option set your protocol requires. UIDs remap consistently across an entire cohort, and pixel-burned PHI and identifiable faces are removed.

  • Built-in profiles Basic, +Pixel, +Descriptors, HIPAA Safe Harbor, Teaching, and fully custom rules.
  • Consistent UID remapping one patient stays one patient across every study.
  • Face defacing strip identifiable facial geometry from head MR/CT volumes.
  • Private tag handling keep, remove, or whitelist vendor blocks.
Workflow

How it works

  1. 01

    Choose a profile

    Start with a built-in PS3.15 profile or a custom rule set that matches your protocol.

  2. 02

    Review metadata rules

    Inspect which attributes will be removed, replaced, cleaned or kept, including private tags.

  3. 03

    Check image pixels

    Review burned-in text and facial geometry when the study needs pixel redaction or face defacing.

  4. 04

    Export and verify

    Create a derived copy, inspect the audit record and verify the result before sharing it.

Before you rely on the output

Checks that still need judgment

  • Applying a de-identification profile is not a certification. You remain responsible for checking the result against your protocol and applicable law.
  • Do not rely on metadata rules alone when identifying information may be burned into image pixels.
