Engineering Notes
Critical for research de-identification. Brain MRI studies with facial structure preservation cannot be de-identified by tag-stripping alone — facial de-facing algorithms required.
Troubleshooting
Research data sharing of brain MRI — always check this tag. YES requires skull-stripping or facial de-facing before sharing.
