Karnak
Karnak is a DICOM gateway for data de-identification and DICOM attribute normalization. It is distributed as a containerized and portable application, making it easy to deploy and use across various environments.
Karnak manages a continuous DICOM flow with a DICOM listener as input and a DICOM and/or DICOMWeb as output.
