Removing Patient Name and ID from Multimedia and DICOM
Images
Studies transferred in DICOM or Multimedia format can have the patient name
and ID removed from the images.
To select this option, follow these steps:
1. Click the PATIENT button and highlight a patient study.
2. Click the [SEND] button.
3. Put a checkmark in the Remove name, ID from Images box.

DICOM readers such as KinetDx, the
name and ID will be displayed in the study list. The Patient Name and
Patient ID
DICOM elements, (0010, 0010) and (0010, 0020)
respectively, will still contain the valid patient identifying information
for the image.
NOTE The name and ID cannot be removed from images archived in the
Cypress format.
