It's your right to release your PHI, but do you want all the metadata released with it?

I saw some of my personal information in the Osirix app, but I thought it'd be worth it lol

There is a lot of information in the DICOM headers, not just your name, also addresses, names of physicians etc.

You can use our (free, no strings attached) anonymizer. Just drag and drop the folder with all images... done.
