Some medical images can have patient identifiable information burnt into them. This information cannot be removed by the pseudonymisation methods implemented in this Uploader, since these only pseudonymise the header information and not the actual pixel/voxel values in the images. Therefore, if such data is used with DASHER it is imperative that it is pre-processed to remove any burnt in patient information before it is sent to DASHER. To help ensure that any data that may contain burnt in information does not accidentally get sent to the remote server, DASHER implements a Quarantine Protocol. This can be used to send images from unknown modalities or specific scanner models to the QUARANTINE project rather than the hospital project when they are imported. Only the administrator user can move the images out of the QUARANTINE project and into the hospital project. For more information read the Admin Guide on the QUARANTINE Project
