aycan launches AI-powered DICOM anonymization tool for secure medical imaging workflows

Rochester, New York, August 4, 2026.

aycan has introduced the aycan AI anonymizer, a configurable in-line solution that automates DICOM anonymization and the secure routing of medical imaging data. Integrated directly into the aycan DICOM router and available as an add-on for aycan store PACS, the solution removes protected health information (PHI) from both DICOM metadata and burned-in pixel data as images are routed—without adding additional workflow steps.

By automating medical image anonymization, healthcare organizations can reduce manual effort while supporting compliance with privacy regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR. The solution enables the creation of AI-ready datasets for clinical research, secure collaboration, approved secondary use, and AI development while maintaining patient privacy and efficient medical imaging workflows.
