Example

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

using Leadtools.Dicom.Common.Anonymization; 
using Leadtools.Dicom; 
 
 
public void AnonymizationSample() 
{ 
   Anonymizer anonymizer = new Anonymizer(true); 
   string dicomFileNameIn = Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir,"DICOM", "image3.dcm"); 
 
   anonymizer.Progress += new EventHandler<ProgressEventArgs>(anonymizer_Progress); 
   anonymizer.BeforeTagAnonymization += new EventHandler<BeforeTagAnonymizationEventArgs>(anonymizer_BeforeTagAnonymization); 
   DicomEngine.Startup(); 
   using (DicomDataSet source = new DicomDataSet()) 
   { 
      string oldPatientId = string.Empty; 
 
      source.Load(dicomFileNameIn, DicomDataSetLoadFlags.None); 
      oldPatientId = source.GetValue<string>(DicomTag.PatientID, string.Empty); 
      anonymizer.Anonymize(source); 
 
      // 
      // The values should not be equal because the anonymizer has provided another patient ID using the DICOM Anonymization basic profile. 
      // By default the following macro is provided for patient id: ${random_string} 
      // 
             
      Assert.IsTrue(oldPatientId != source.GetValue<string>(DicomTag.PatientID, string.Empty), "The values should not be equal because the anonymizer has provided another patient ID using the DICOM Anonymization basic profile."); 
   } 
 
   DicomEngine.Shutdown(); 
}
