All other tags:

Check this to anonymize oll other tags, removing or replacing all possibly sensitive tags and values. Most private tags will be removed, keeping only those relevant to nordicICE analysis methods. 

Uncheck this to only replace the tags checked and edited in this Dialog, leaving the rest of the tags with their original values. In any case the SOP instance UID, Series Instance UID and Study Instance UID will be replaced to avoid images with different headers to have the same UID.

 Delete original images from database:

Check this to delete the original images from the database, after inserting the anonymized images. This option is only available when performing an anonymization directly in the database.

Note: The Edit fields dialg can be displayed by pressing the Anonymize button on the Database tab of the nordicICE database dialog.

Tips:

• Edit a single tag by changing this ones value, and making sure that no other tags are marked for anonymization.
