DICOM Tag Redaction
For standard DICOM uploads, SliceVault removes identifying metadata before the files are uploaded. This process happens locally in your browser.
What This Does
DICOM tag redaction removes identifying information stored in the file metadata, such as patient details, site details, and other sensitive values that should not be transferred into the study repository.
In most studies, this step is automatic and does not require manual review.
What Happens During Upload
After you select the correct series, SliceVault prepares the files for upload and applies the configured DICOM redaction rules.
This means:
- the original identifying DICOM metadata is removed or replaced before upload
- the upload continues automatically unless another review step is required
- extra review is usually only needed when visible text is detected in the image pixels or when video masking is required
