Make Exam Anonymous (De-Identify)

There may be times when you want the name of a patient to be kept confidential to maintain patient
privacy. You can do this using the De-Identify feature. This feature allows you to create an anonymous
set of images.
The patient examinations are copied and used to create a new patient, with the name "Anonymized
patient" and a unique, randomly created Patient ID as shown in Figure A6-8.
NOTE: The original exam is not modified in any way, only a copy is altered.
NOTE: Once an anonymous exam is created, there is no way to recover the patient's identifying
information.
