[DICOMEdit] Anonymization script for DICOM group removal

[Jordi Huguet]

Hi there,

This is not a DicomBrowser issue, but a DICOMEdit one which I undestand is a language used both in XNAT and DicomBrowser. 

I would like to add a rule in my XNAT site-wide anon script to get rid of all elements of a given group. Something like:

//delete any group 0013 occurrences 
- (0013,*)

Is it possible to use wildcards somehow? I have been unable to find a proper example of how to achieve that. 

All I have found is a DICOMEdit presentation here (2012) announcing as a future feature "Tag patterns (or special support for vendor private tags)" and that is -I believe- what I am looking for. However I am not sure if (a) is such feature available currently and (b) how can I use it.

Thanks,

Jordi

Hi, Jordi,

Yes, unfortunately the DicomEdit docs are quite a bit behind the implementation.

Starting with version 3.0.0, there are three single-digit wildcards: X for any digit, # for any odd digit (mnemonic: on 3 key), @ for any even digit (mnemonic: on 2 key). So you should be able to do something like:

- (0013,XXXX)

or any vendor private tags like so:

- (XXX#,XXXX)

Thanks for the input, Kevin.

Hi, Jordi,

XNAT went to 4.0.0 almost 2 years ago, so this should be available in your XNAT. I added the version qualifier because there are a lot of older DicomBrowser builds around.
