Orthanc Report Redact and Anonymize

[Anand Srinivasan]

I want to understand the Anonymize aspect of ORTHANC. Does it anonymize the SR DICOM report tags as well? If not how do we redact that information?

Hello,

By default, Orthanc sticks to the "Table E.1-1. Application Level Confidentiality Profile Attributes" from the official DICOM standard when anonymizing DICOM files:

https://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/html/part15.html#table_E.1-1

This is implemented in the following source file:

https://hg.orthanc-server.com/orthanc/file/Orthanc-1.11.3/OrthancFramework/Sources/DicomParsing/DicomModification_Anonymization2021b.impl.h

Additional information can be found in the Orthanc Book:

Give a try by yourself, and let us know if you encounter issues.

Regards,

Sébastien-
