Step 1 Panel – Local Anonymization

• Anonymization profile selector (Light-touch, Balanced – recommended, Max-safe) with a link to view the current rules in JSON format. The selected profile decides how many fields are removed or hashed in both the DICOM headers and the related clinical Excel file.
• Source DICOM folder picker (full PACS export).
• Clinical data file picker (.xlsx, .xls, or .json).
• Destination folder selector (local folder on the user’s computer).
• “Run Anonymization (DICOM + Clinical)” button.
• Live progress bar and detailed status logs.
• Downloadable anonymization log (.txt).

When the user clicks “Run Anonymization”, the tool reads the selected DICOM files and clinical data, applies the chosen profile’s rules (removing or hashing identifiers in DICOM headers and matching Excel/JSON columns), and writes the fully anonymized files to the chosen destination folder.
