Introduction

dicom-anonymiser is a Go-based REST API designed to anonymise DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) files. DICOM is a standard used for transmitting, storing, retrieving, and sharing medical imaging information.

This tool is perfect for healthcare providers, researchers, and software developers who need to protect patient information by removing identifiable data from DICOM files in compliance with privacy laws and regulations.
