NAME

       dcmsplit - remove identifying fields from DICOM files

SYNOPSIS

       dcmsplit <file> ... [<flags>...]

DESCRIPTION

       dcmsplit is part of the VoxBo suite of tools for brain image analysis.

       dcmsplit  removes identifying elements from a DICOM file.  It is not guaranteed to remove all identifying
       elements, nor does it address identifying information in the image data (e.g., facial features).  But  it
       might be useful as part of the de-identification process.

       dcmsplit  can  optionally  put  the  removed  elements  into a separate file, and can also remove custom-
       specified groups and elements.  It can also run recursively on directories.

       To see the list of groups/elements removed automatically, to get more help, and to get a complete list of
       available flags, run the program with no arguments.

AVAILABILITY

       Pre-built VoxBo binaries are available for Linux, OSX,  and  Cygwin,  and  via  the  NeuroDebian  project
       (neuro.debian.net) for Debian derivatives.
