[![Documentation](https://docs.rs/dicom-anonymization/badge.svg)](https://docs.rs/dicom-anonymization)

This repository provides a library and binary for anonymizing (or de-identifying) [DICOM](https://dicomstandard.org/) files.

> [!WARNING]
> This is a work in progress. Some things may still change and not all things may work as expected yet.

The project prioritizes performance, reliability, safety and ease of use.

## Building

```bash
cargo build --release
```

## Usage

See documentation on [docs.rs](https://docs.rs/dicom-anonymization).

### Python

See the Python bindings [README.md](bindings/python/README.md).

### Library

#### Installation

To add the library to your project, do this:

```bash
cargo add dicom-anonymization
```

#### Using default configuration

```rust
use std::fs::File;
use dicom_anonymization::Anonymizer;

let file = File::open("tests/data/test.dcm")?;

let anonymizer = Anonymizer::default();
let result = anonymizer.anonymize(file)?;

let output_file = File::create("anonymized.dcm")?;
result.write(output_file)?;
```

#### Using custom configuration

```rust
use std::fs::File;
use dicom_anonymization::tags;
use dicom_anonymization::Anonymizer;
use dicom_anonymization::actions::Action;
use dicom_anonymization::config::builder::ConfigBuilder;
use dicom_anonymization::processor::DefaultProcessor;

// default configuration can be customized/overridden
let config = ConfigBuilder::default()
    .uid_root("1.2.840.123".parse().unwrap())
    .remove_private_tags(true)
    .tag_action(tags::PATIENT_NAME, Action::Replace { value: "John Doe".into() })
    .tag_action(tags::PATIENT_ID, Action::Hash { length: Some(16) })
    .tag_action(tags::ACCESSION_NUMBER, Action::Hash { length: Some(16) })
    .tag_action(tags::STUDY_DATE, Action::HashDate)
    .tag_action(tags::SERIES_DATE, Action::Remove)
    .tag_action(tags::STUDY_INSTANCE_UID, Action::HashUID)
    .tag_action(tags::SERIES_INSTANCE_UID, Action::HashUID)
    .tag_action(tags::SOP_INSTANCE_UID, Action::HashUID)
    .build();

let processor = DefaultProcessor::new(config);
let anonymizer = Anonymizer::new(processor);

let file = File::open("tests/data/test.dcm")?;
let result = anonymizer.anonymize(file)?;

let mut output = Vec::<u8>::new();
result.write(&mut output)?;
```

#### Building configuration from scratch

```rust
use dicom_anonymization::tags;
use dicom_anonymization::actions::Action;
use dicom_anonymization::config::builder::ConfigBuilder;

let config_from_scratch = ConfigBuilder::new()
    .uid_root("1.2.840.123".parse().unwrap())
    .remove_private_tags(false)
    .tag_action(tags::PATIENT_NAME, Action::Replace { value: "John Doe".into() })
    // ...more config rules...
    .build();
```

### Binary

#### Installation

To install the `dcmanon` binary, do this:

```bash
cargo install dicom-anonymization
```

#### Usage

##### anonymize

```bash
$ dcmanon anonymize --help
Anonymize DICOM files

Usage: dcmanon anonymize [OPTIONS] --input <INPUT_PATH> --output <OUTPUT_PATH>

Options:
  -i, --input <INPUT_PATH>    Input file ('-' for stdin) or directory
  -o, --output <OUTPUT_PATH>  Output file ('-' for stdout) or directory
  -c, --config <CONFIG_FILE>  Path to config JSON file
  -u, --uid-root <UID_ROOT>   UID root (default '9999')
      --exclude <TAGS>        Tags to exclude from anonymization, e.g. '00100020,00080050'
  -r, --recursive             Recursively look for files in input directory
      --continue              Continue when file found is not DICOM
  -v, --verbose               Show more verbose output
  -d, --debug                 Show debug output
  -h, --help                  Print help
  -V, --version               Print version
```

**Example**

```bash
dcmanon -i tests/data/test.dcm -o anonymized.dcm
```

##### config create

```bash
$ dcmanon config create --help
Create a configuration file

Usage: dcmanon config create [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -o, --output <CONFIG_FILE>  Path to save the config file  (‘-’ or omitted → stdout) [default: -]
  -v, --verbose               Show more verbose output
  -d, --debug                 Show debug output
  -u, --uid-root <UID_ROOT>   UID root to use
      --exclude <TAGS>        Tags to exclude from anonymization, e.g. '00100020,00080050'
      --diff-only             Only output the dfferences with the default config
  -h, --help                  Print help
