anonymize_identity: Anonymize identity in a volume object.

In barefootbiology/heyexr: Import, Transform and Visualize Optical Coherence Tomography Volumes in R

Anonymize identity in a volume object.

Description

anonymize_identity changes the 'pid' (an internal identifier used by the Heidelberg database) and 'patient_id' (typically a hospital number, e.g., medical record number or MRN) values in a volume object header. NOTE: By default the patient's name is part of the file name, so if you are writing out the volume object data to a file, remember to rename the file accordingly.

Usage

anonymize_identity(header, pid, patient_id = pid)

Arguments

header	The header list from a volume object.
anon_pid	A new internal patient ID.
anon_patient_id	A new patient ID.

Value

A new header list with the ID values changed.
