Parameters

searchDirectory: The search directory to look for DICOM files.
pattern: The pattern to search for.
outputDir: The output directory for the anonymized files.
allDirectories: true search all directories; otherwise, only the top level directory will be searched.
settings: The image settings to apply when changing the image in the anonymized dataset.

Remarks

This method will return patient id, study instance uid, and series instance uid for matching files in the searched directories. The settings are only valid if you apply BlackoutRects to the anonymized images. Doing this will require that the image be re-inserted into the anonymized dataset.
