Maybe a SEP field going on?
Somebody Else's Problem field, or SEP, is a cheap, easy, and staggeringly useful way of safely protecting something from unwanted eyes. It can run almost indefinitely on a flashlight/9 volt battery, and is able to do so because it utilizes a person's natural tendency to ignore things they don't easily accept, like, for example, aliens at a cricket match. Any object around which a S.E.P is applied will cease to be noticed, because any problems one may have understanding it (and therefore accepting its existence) become Somebody Else's. An object becomes not so much invisible as unnoticed. Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe, and Everything

Everyone's here, but we're all just waiting for something exciting to say. I'd start, but I'm not the least bit exciting.

My only suggestion would be that paint will open many types of images and if it is possible to access the actual image file and directly open it with paint, it may be better resolution then opening a print screen.

>> When reviewing images of angios etc on your computer scroll down or zoom in such that the information you want de-identified is no longer visible.

>> If scrolling the screen to hide names, etc won't work because data is still available in important parts of the image you can use Paint commands to select specific things and delete them (just click on select then right mouse click to draw a box over the part of the image you want removed. Release the right mouse button and hit delete. Boom, gone. Remember to save your file as something meaningful and in a file type that you can share with others (JPEG).

>> You can clean up the blanks if you really want them to look pretty by using the eyedropper to select an ambient color or shade of grey then use the fill button to fill in the blank.
>> Low tech but free.
>> Double check images for ID. I once took names and MRN numbers out of a series of images only to discover to my horror that the names remained in a subtle part of the image. I had to do them all over again.
>> I hope this is useful for you.
