Not anonymizing

Hi,

The first step (converting DICOM to NIFTI) run well but my nii.gz files in the work folder got the complete name of the subject as ID. How can I change this by an specific ID code?

Thanks!
Best,

Hi @CatalinaTLl. bidskit uses the folder names at the first level of the sourcedata folder as subject IDs. If your original DICOM data is exported from (eg) a PACs system you might be able to deidentify the subject ID at export. Otherwise you can rename the sourcedata/* folders using a deidentification key. Typical practice at research sites like ours is to generate deidentified subject IDs prior to MR scanning and use those for registration at the console.
