How To Install dicomanonymizer on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install dicomanonymizer on Fedora 34.
What is dicomanonymizer
A multi-threaded anonymizer for DICOM files implementing most of DICOM PS 3.15 AnnexE. Entries such as uid entries are replaced with hash values. This ensures that partial runs of a studies DICOM files can be merged afterwards. This project is written in C++ using the gdcm library and multiple threads to accelerate processing. Warning de-identification. Instead of a white list of allowed tags the tool keeps a list of tags known to frequently contain personal identifying information (PII) and replaces only those. On the command line you specify a patient identifier (PatientID/PatientName). Only if you do not keep a mapping of the new and the old identifier this is considered an anonymization. If such a list exists the operation performed is a de-identification (permits a later re-identification).
