DICOM anonymisation
that lives inside
your network.
PixelIQ™ processes DICOM identity - header tags, private creator tags and burnt-in pixel overlays - before any study leaves your PACS. On-prem. Inline. PS3.15 aligned.
PixelIQ™ applies the SECUVA governance model to Medical Imaging.Patient identity never leaves your network.
Controlling what approved AI relationships may receive.
Removing patient identity inside the customer environment when the approved purpose does not require it.
Preserving evidence of what was released.
DICOM carries patient identity in three places.Most tools miss two of them.
A standard CT study can expose a patient across header tags, pixel overlays, and structured report fields simultaneously. Header-only de-identification - which is what most PACS export scripts do - leaves two surfaces untouched.
DICOM header fields
Comprehensive PS3.15-aligned attribute coverage - patient names, dates of birth, accession numbers, institution names, referring physicians and more.
Header scrub · configurable per-tag profile
Modality-aware identity controls
Release rules account for the modality of every study. Studies that need extra identity handling are held back rather than released.
Structured reports & PR objects
SR, KO, and GSPS objects carry referenced UIDs, text values, and coded sequences that survive header stripping.
Full SR parse · coded sequence scrub
The PixelIQ™ pipeline.
Every step runs inside your network. Nothing raw ever leaves.
- 01
PACS Intercept
Study arrives via standard DICOM transport. Minimal network configuration.
- 02
Modality check
Studies from modalities that need extra identity handling are held back rather than released.
- 03
Header Scrub
PS3.15-aligned attribute coverage. Structured reports, key objects and presentation states parsed and cleaned.
- 04
Policy Check
Release rules validated. Recipient allowlist enforced. DUA compliance verified.
- 05
Governed Output
Clean study forwarded. Tamper-evident ledger entry written.
Transparent proxy.Your PACS never knows it is there.
PixelIQ deploys as an on-prem agent inside your network. No changes to your PACS configuration. No radiologist workflow disruption.
Any DICOM-compliant PACS supported via standard transport. Custom connector available on request.
What PixelIQ™ covers.
Modality-aware identity controls
Release rules account for the modality of every study. Studies that need extra identity handling are held back rather than released, so a study is never released on an assumption.
PS3.15 header scrub
PS3.15-aligned attribute coverage. Configurable retain / remove / pseudonymise per attribute, per destination.
SR & KO handling
Structured Reports, Key Objects, and Presentation States processed natively - not skipped as most tools do.
Policy-gated release
Each destination receives only what its data-use agreement permits, and an unregistered destination receives nothing.
Tamper-evident audit ledger
Every anonymisation decision recorded in an independently verifiable ledger - exportable for HREC and OAIC review.
When teams reach for PixelIQ™.
Sending studies to an AI vendor
Your AI vendor needs de-identified DICOM. PixelIQ intercepts studies leaving your PACS, strips PHI on-prem, and forwards clean images - no manual export, no compliance gap.
Building a research cohort
Ethics approval covers de-identified images. PixelIQ processes your retrospective archive and releases anonymised studies to a research PACS or S3 bucket - with an immutable audit trail for your HREC.
Multi-site clinical trials
Standardise de-identification across sites. PixelIQ applies the same PS3.15 profile everywhere, maintains consistent pseudonymous UIDs across the trial, and logs every transfer centrally.
Training an internal AI model
Your data science team needs labelled DICOM. PixelIQ de-identifies and releases to your internal GPU cluster - PHI never touches a research environment, governance is automatic.
Built for PACS integration, not alongside it.
PixelIQ runs as a transparent DICOM proxy. Your PACS does not know it is there. No workflow changes for radiologists. No integration project for IT.
