Type Alias: AppliedAction

AppliedAction = "removed" | "emptied" | "dummied" | "uid-remapped" | "cleaned" | "kept"

What deidentify actually did to one attribute - the concrete outcome of the resolved Annex E action.

• removed - the element was deleted (X).
• emptied - replaced with a zero-length value (Z).
• dummied - replaced with a non-identifying dummy of compatible VR (D).
• uid-remapped - UID(s) replaced with internally-consistent UIDs (U).
• cleaned - conservatively blanked because a safe similar-meaning value cannot be synthesised at the metadata layer (C; see known limitations).
• kept - retained, either by an active Retain option or because the SQ was kept and its items cleaned recursively.

Example

import { deidentify, parseDicom, type AppliedAction } from "@cosyte/dicom";
const { report } = deidentify(parseDicom(buf));
const removed = report.attributes.filter((a) => a.applied === ("removed" satisfies AppliedAction));
