Project Goals:

The Cancer Imaging Program's informatics team were in need of a standards based de-idenfication procedure for images that are being submitted to the National Biomedical Imaging Archive (NBIA).  In February of 2009 we contacted David Clunie for input on this and he directed us to the DICOM Working Group 18 draft (v03) of Supplement 142.  CIP then gathered a small group of industry experts to discuss how this could be implemented in the RSNA's Clinical Trial Processor (CTP) software. The primary identified goals of the project were:

  1. Generate CTP-readable templates based on the guidelines in  DICOM Working Group 18, Supplement 142.
  2. Create a release of CTP that will allow easy access to and management of these templates, and script files derived from these templates.

RSNA Poster:

A poster was accepted for the RSNA 2009 Annual Meeting describing the group's activities and how this work would be integrated with caBIG's National Biomedical Imaging Archive (NBIA) software to provide a clean and secure public facing image archive for the imaging community. This poster can be found here: supp142 poster-final.ppt

Principal Project Participants:

  • John Perry
  • Justin Kirby
  • Carl Jaffe
  • John Freymann
  • Jay Gaeta (implementing S142 into TRIAD, ACRIN's image management system)

Project Status:

Below is a summary of important dates and milestones:

  • Date Started:  February 13, 2009
  • April 2009 - Software development completed to generate, apply, and modify "profiles" in CTP
  • April 2009 - Initial implementation (Finalized CTP Anonymization Profile - Basic) completed by the project participants and included as default CTP anonymization script 
  • December 2009 - "option" profiles completed by Justin Kirby 
    • Note: These option profiles are overlays and do not modify any tags except what are explicitly listed in each option file.  It is highly recommended to start with the Basic Profile Script and then apply these option profiles afterwards to relax the de-identification scheme if desired.
    • RetainLongitudinal
    • RetainDeviceInfo
    • RetainUIDs
    • KeepDescriptions (basically "CleanDescriptions" however cleaning would involve varying changes to the scripts for the included tags depending on the contents of the images being submitted)
  • January 2010
    • Basic Profile updated by John Perry and Justin Kirby
    • New "NBIA Default" profile designed by Justin Kirby to best fit the needs of those using CTP to submit to NBIA
      • Includes foundation of S142 Basic Profile
      • Adds options for RetainDeviceInfoand KeepDescriptions
      • Includes NBIA-specific Parameters values
      • Implements additional tweaks to help catch burned in PHI in image pixels (ImageType checked for "SCREEN SAVE" value and BurnedInAnnotation tags checked for "YES" value)
  • February 2010
    • CIP was made aware that versions 04 and 05 of Supplement 142 have been released
    • Working Group 18 is now moving to open up Supplement 142 for public comment
    • Upon completion CIP will review the finalized Supplement 142 document to see if changes to any CTP scripts are required
  • March 2010
    • S142 approved for public comment
    • sup142_pc.doc
