'Usage

Dim instance As Anonymizer

[DefaultMemberAttribute("Item")]
public ref class Anonymizer : public Leadtools.Dicom.Common.DataTypes.NotifyPropertyChanged, System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged

The Anonymizer class provides you with the ability to anonymize DICOM files using macros. The Anonymizer is created with default macros that can be replaced or you can add your own.

This example anonymizes a dataset using the DICOM Anonymization basic profile.
