The template

The template is a special file that can keep DICOM tags with their values and it can be used to batch modify or anonymize DICOM files.

There are two types of templates:
  • The DICOM template
    It is used from the menu command "FileBatchModify DICOM Files" to determine the fields to be modified and their values.
  • The anonymizing template
    It is used from the menu command "FileBatchAnonymize" to determine the fields to be anonymized and their values.
