Dear Marco, Thank you for your answer. I will look into DCMTK. I saw there was a function to anonymize a dataset:
gdcm::File::AnonymizeFile() which I could use. I am not modifying the image content in any way, only the header, and I would like to be able to reload the anonymized dataset using my application (I currently use mitk::IOUtil::Load). The thing is, I do not only need to read and anonymize the dicom dataset, but I actually use it to perform a segmentation. The application then saves the segmented image and the anonymized dataset, in order to be able to reload them at a later time. I would like to avoid reading twice the dicom dataset - once with DCMTK, to anonymize it, and once with Mitk. Is there a way to convert an image read by DCMTK into a mitk::Image ? Through Itk, I guess ?
