Detailed Description

Anonymizer This class is a multi purpose anonymizer. It can work in 2 mode:

1. dumb mode This is a dumb anonymizer implementation. All it allows user is simple operation such as:

Tag based functions:

DataSet based functions:

All function calls actually execute the user specified request. Previous implementation were calling a general Anonymize function but traversing a std::set is O(n) operation, while a simple user specified request is O(log(n)) operation. So 'm' user interaction is O(m*log(n)) which is < O(n) complexity.

2. smart mode this mode implements the Basic Application Level Confidentiality Profile (DICOM PS 3.15-2008) In this case it is extremely important to use the same gdcm::Anonymizer class when anonymizing a FileSet. Once the gdcm::Anonymizer is destroyed its memory of known (already processed) UIDs will be lost. which will make the anonymizer behaves incorrectly for attributes such as Series UID Study UID where user want some consistancy. When attribute is Type 1 / Type 1C, a dummy generator will take in the existing value and produce a dummy value (a sha1 representation). sha1 algorithm is considered to be cryptograpgically strong (compared to md5sum) so that we meet the following two conditions:

This class implement the Subject/Observer pattern trigger the following event:

bool gdcm::Anonymizer::BALCPProtect ( DataSet ds,
Tag const &  tag,
const IOD iod 
) [protected]
bool gdcm::Anonymizer::BasicApplicationLevelConfidentialityProfile ( bool  deidentify = true )

PS 3.15 / E.1.1 De-Identifier An Application may claim conformance to the Basic Application Level Confidentiality Profile as a deidentifier if it protects all Attributes that might be used by unauthorized entities to identify the patient. NOT THREAD SAFE

bool gdcm::Anonymizer::CanEmptyTag ( Tag const &  tag,
const IOD iod 
) const [protected]
bool gdcm::Anonymizer::Empty ( Tag const &  t )

Make Tag t empty (if not found tag will be created) Warning: does not handle SQ element

static std::vector<Tag> gdcm::Anonymizer::GetBasicApplicationLevelConfidentialityProfileAttributes (  ) [static]

Return the list of Tag that will be considered when anonymizing a DICOM file.

Examples:
GenFakeIdentifyFile.cxx, and TraverseModules.cxx.

File& gdcm::Anonymizer::GetFile (  ) [inline]

for wrapped language: instanciate a reference counted object

void gdcm::Anonymizer::RecurseDataSet ( DataSet ds ) [protected]
bool gdcm::Anonymizer::Remove ( Tag const &  t )

remove a tag (even a SQ can be removed)

bool gdcm::Anonymizer::RemoveGroupLength (  )

Main function that loop over all elements and remove group length.

Examples:
ClinicalTrialAnnotate.cxx.
bool gdcm::Anonymizer::RemovePrivateTags (  )

Main function that loop over all elements and remove private tags.

Examples:
ClinicalTrialAnnotate.cxx.
bool gdcm::Anonymizer::RemoveRetired (  )

Main function that loop over all elements and remove retired element.

bool gdcm::Anonymizer::Replace ( Tag const &  t,
const char *  value,
VL const &  vl 
)

when the value contains \0, it is a good idea to specify the length. This function is required when dealing with VRBINARY tag

bool gdcm::Anonymizer::Replace ( Tag const &  t,
const char *  value 
)

Replace tag with another value, if tag is not found it will be created: WARNING: this function can only execute if tag is a VRASCII

Examples:
ClinicalTrialAnnotate.cxx, and EncapsulateFileInRawData.cxx.
void gdcm::Anonymizer::SetCryptographicMessageSyntax ( CryptographicMessageSyntax cms )

Set/Get CMS key that will be used to encrypt the dataset within BasicApplicationLevelConfidentialityProfile.

void gdcm::Anonymizer::SetFile ( const File f ) [inline]
