You were transferring dicom files out of country? Madness. That's identifiable medical data.

Tell me you were at least running anonymisation software in hospitals before you transferred?

Nope. This is a common practice in some huge businesses. Teleradiology.

We don't do it for fun. This is a part of patient care.

Radiologists awake in Australia can read images from the United States. It saves lives.

The radiologists are licensed and certified in the hospitals and states.

And by the way, if I get a CT scan of your head, I can trivially reconstruct your face. Might even recognize you with it.

If you want to freak out, medical records are sent by fax machine ALL THE TIME.

Thanks for the insight about this. It does not make me personally feel better about this situation, but it adds some to the general picture.
