Hi Daphne, if you just want to remove or replce DICOM tags for anonymization, I think you should bypass both MITK and ITK and just use DCMTK methods. Using them it should be quite easy to read a dataset, manipulate it and write it back. Or you could even just call "dcmodify" as a command line tool, there are many examples online how to use it. If you are also modifying the image content ( pixel data), things become a bit more complicated, since formally you are then creating a new DICOM object with a new modality which is usually non-trivial to do in full accordance with the standard.
What are you planning to do with the anonymized files? Which tool should be able to load them?
