DICOM anonymisation
that lives inside
your network.
PixelIQ processes every layer of DICOM identity - header tags, burnt-in pixel overlays, and structured report fields - before any study leaves your PACS. On-prem. Sub-50ms. PS3.15 compliant.
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.
113+ PS3.15 attributes - PatientName, DOB, AccessionNumber, InstitutionName, ReferringPhysician and more.
Patient banners, accession overlays, clinic watermarks baked into the pixel data. Invisible to header-only tools.
SR, KO, and GSPS objects carry referenced UIDs, text values, and coded sequences that survive header stripping.
The PixelIQ pipeline.
Every step runs inside your network. Nothing raw ever leaves.
Transparent proxy.
Your PACS never knows it is there.
PixelIQ deploys as an on-prem agent and registers as a standard DICOM node inside your network. No changes to your PACS configuration. No radiologist workflow disruption. Outbound-only network model.
Any DICOM-compliant PACS supported via standard C-STORE / STOW-RS. Custom connector available on request.
What PixelIQ covers.
Pixel-level PHI detection
Our pixel-level detection model trained on radiology imaging - patient banners, accession overlays, clinic watermarks - identifies and removes PHI that is completely invisible to any header-only tool. Covers all primary imaging modalities and secondary capture objects.
PS3.15 header scrub
All E.1 and E.2 profile attributes processed. Configurable retain / remove / pseudonymise per tag, per destination.
SR & KO handling
Structured Reports, Key Objects, and Presentation States processed natively - not skipped as most tools do.
Policy-gated routing
Each destination receives only what its data-use agreement permits. Enforced at the network layer, not in application logic.
Immutable audit chain
Every anonymisation decision is cryptographically signed. Tamper-evident log for HREC, TGA, 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 routes anonymised studies to a research PACS or S3 bucket - with a signed 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 routes 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.
