Technical Summary
The OpenPHR DICOM Anonymizer is a highly efficient, local-first Python library designed to scrub Protected Health Information (PHI) from DICOM image files and headers.
Key Capabilities
- Header Scrubbing: Automatically removes or obfuscates over 250 standard PHI fields specified by the DICOM standard.
- Pixel Data Redaction: Integrates with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to detect and black out text burned directly into the pixel data (e.g., patient names, dates of birth).
- Batch Processing: Optimized for high-throughput batch processing, capable of anonymizing thousands of images per minute.
Usage
For a tutorial on using this tool in your clinical data pipeline, refer to Cookbook 22: De-identifying DICOM Images in the Getting Started guide.
