Imaging research tools
RSNA’s imaging research and education tools are designed to help radiologists work more efficiently while improving the quality and safety of patient care.
RSNA DICOM Anonymizer
The RSNA DICOM Anonymizer tool helps users process DICOM files for research by removing or changing personal identifiers, thereby protecting patient privacy. The tool, written in Python, offers a user-friendly interface and is versatile for different use cases. The tool is highly configurable, allowing users to choose the level of anonymization needed and can export anonymized files to different locations, including cloud-based storage services.
For more information, please visit the RSNA Anonymizer GitHub page. You can download the RSNA Anonymizer tool here.
RSNA DICOM Anonymizer (Legacy)
A previous version of the DICOM Anonymizer tool, written primarily in Java, is also available on GitHub. You can download the tool here. It has similar capabilities for managing and processing sensitive metadata in DICOM files for research purposes.
Clinical trial processor (CTP)
CTP provides a secure solution for researchers to exchange, index and retrieve images and documents from imaging clinical trials. Designed to support industry-standard transport protocols, CTP is easy to configure and connect to commercial PACS.
Researchers can use CTP to manage and move data between field centers and principal sites in multisite imaging clinical trials. You can also anonymize DICOM objects to remove protected health information, including burned-in pixel data.
