Make Exam Anonymous (De-Identify)
There may be times when you want the name of a patient to be kept confidential to maintain patient pri-
vacy. You can do this using the De-Identify feature. This feature allows you to create an anonymous set of
images.
The patient examinations are copied and used to create a new patient, with the name “Anonymized
patient” and a unique, randomly created Patient ID as shown in Figure 12-9.
Note: The original exam is not modified in any way, only a copy is altered.
Note: Once an anonymous exam is created, there is no way to recover the patient’s identifying informa-
tion from the anonymous exam.
The De-Identify option is available from the Image Tools button (Figure 12-8).
