Parameters

searchDirectory

The output directory for the anonymized files.

allDirectories
true to search all directories; otherwise, search only the top level directory.

anonymizationKeys
The anonymization keys used to find unique keys to maintain across files.

settings
The image settings to apply when changing the image in the anonymized dataset.

Remarks

This method will return patient id, study instance uid, and series instance uid for matching files in the searched directories. The settings are only valid if you apply BlackoutRects to the anonymized images. Doing this will require that the image be re-inserted into the anonymized dataset.
