Anonymizer script defines the rules for DICOM anonymization. You can use the default CIP CTP script available here: https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/download/attachments/39295860/ctp-s142-cleaner.script as the starting point for customization. This script allows you to choose which tags you would like to keep/remove/change, and allows you to offset the dates.

Lookup table is optional, and when specified, it allows to map the original IDs to the anonymized patient IDs. The format of this file is the following:

ptid/ORIGINAL_SUBJECT_ID=DEIDENTIFIED_SUBJECT_ID

Once you configured the import pipeline, you can launch CTP service using the launcher located in the installation directory – see the directions on running CTP here: http://mircwiki.rsna.org/index.php?title=CTP-The_RSNA_Clinical_Trial_Processor#Running_CTP. You should use the web interface of CTP to monitor the progress of transmission. You can also use it to change your deidentification script, check the mapping of subject IDs, and shutdown the CTP service once the transmission is finished.

Importing your data

There are 3 primary locations which you can import data from with CTP.

...

You can use the utility FileSender http://mircwiki.rsna.org/index.php?title=FileSender to send the original data from your hard drive to CTP. Considering you configured CTP to listen on port 24104 as described in the config file above, you can set the Destination field in FileSender to dicom://CTP:FS@localhost:24104, choose the directory on the left panel, and push send the data to CTP.
