aycan Launches AI Tool for Automated Medical Image Anonymization and Routing

Rochester, New York, August 4, 2026.

aycan, a recognized leader in medical imaging, today introduced aycan AI anonymizer, a configurable, in-line tool that streamlines the anonymization and routing of medical imaging data. The innovative solution eliminates the need for labor-intensive manual reviews or separate software while ensuring patient information remains secure and compliant with privacy regulations.

As healthcare organizations manage growing imaging volumes and increasing demands for secure data sharing, automated anonymization can help reduce manual effort while supporting privacy compliance.

“The aycan AI anonymizer helps healthcare organizations unlock the value of clinical imaging data by transforming it into research-ready and AI-ready datasets for approved secondary uses, while maintaining patient privacy and regulatory compliance,” said Alan Stevens, Managing Director, aycan U.S. “As a company committed to delivering innovative solutions, we’re proud to expand our AI portfolio with a tool that helps customers improve workflow efficiency, lower costs, and ultimately improve patient care.”

The aycan AI anonymizer facilitates secure, anonymous data sharing by automatically removing protected health information (PHI) from both DICOM metadata and burned-in pixel data, helping ensure compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR. The easy-to-use tool is highly configurable, allowing users to set anonymization rules such as identifying and deleting forms containing detectable text and removing secondary captures. It anonymizes both legacy and new images as part of the normal workflow whenever images are shared.

The aycan AI anonymizer is available as an in-line module within aycan DICOM router, automatically anonymizing images during routing without requiring a separate workflow step. The aycan DICOM router is a scalable, high-performance distribution system designed for sharing DICOM data between disparate clinical and enterprise imaging IT systems. The AI anonymizer tool is also available as an add-on to aycan store PACS, a scalable, high-performance DICOM archiving and distribution system.

aycan offers full integration service and ongoing, immediate, live, personal support for the aycan AI anonymizer and all its fielded aycan solutions. To learn more or request a demonstration, contact aycan or visit the company website.
