Hi Beam Community,

I have written up a design
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FLyL0x8DKHi0Kcp75tvqeyKuoagohYEhUYxJ2JuW_Ek/edit?resourcekey=0-U9drxvF-ApT-Y7MoBSv-yQ>
for
implementing de-identification in our existing Dicom IO (Java SDK), and
would appreciate any thoughts or feedback!

A tl;dr on why this is important:

DICOM is the international standard to communicate and manage medical
images and data. Oftentimes, a common need in healthcare is to
"de-identify" the data, or scrub it of PHI information. The Google Cloud
Healthcare API supports de-identifying DICOM stores
<https://cloud.google.com/healthcare-api/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.datasets.dicomStores/deidentify>,
and this proposal seeks to leverage that.

I've prototyped a PR here <https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/28137>.

Thanks,
