BACKGROUND: Protected health information burned in pixel data is not indicated for various reasons in DICOM. It complicates the secondary use of such data. In recent years, there have been several attempts to anonymize or de-identify DICOM files. Existing approaches have different constraints. No completely reliable solution exists. Especially for large datasets, it is necessary to quickly analyse and identify files potentially violating privacy. METHODS: Classification is based on adaptive-iterative algorithm designed to identify one of three classes. There are several image transformations, optical character recognition, and filters; then a local decision is made. A confirmed local decision is the final one. The classifier was trained on a dataset composed of 15,334 images of various modalities. RESULTS: The false positive rates are in all cases below 4.00%, and 1.81% in the mission-critical problem of detecting protected health information. The classifier's weighted average recall was 94.85%, the weighted average inverse recall was 97.42% and Cohen's Kappa coefficient was 0.920. CONCLUSION: The proposed novel approach for classification of burned-in text is highly configurable and able to analyse images from different modalities with a noisy background. The solution was validated and is intended to identify DICOM files that need to have restricted access or be thoroughly de-identified due to privacy issues. Unlike with existing tools, the recognised text, including its coordinates, can be further used for de-identification.

AIM: To examine the incidence and trends in pediatric inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) over 2000-2015 and project the incidence to 2018. METHODS: A 16-year prospective study of IBD patients < 19 years of age was conducted in the Czech Republic (the Pilsen region). All incident IBD cases within a well-defined geographical area were retrieved from a prospectively collected computerized clinical database. Historical Czech data were used for comparison (1990-2001). Our catchment population was determined from the census data. We calculated the incidence by relating the number of newly diagnosed cases to the size of the pediatric population-at-risk in each calendar year. Age/sex, disease type, place of residence, and race/ethnicity were identified. RESULTS: In total, 170 new IBD cases [105 Crohn's disease (CD), 48 ulcerative colitis (UC), and 17 IBD-unclassified (IBD-U)] were identified. The median age at IBD diagnosis was 14.2 years, 59.4% were males, and 97.1% were Caucasians. A male preponderance of IBD (P = 0.026) and CD (P = 0.016) was observed. With 109209 person-years in the catchment area, the average incidence of IBD per 100000 person-years was 10.0 (6.2 for CD, 2.8 for UC, and 1.0 for IBD-U) for children aged 0 to 19 years; for those aged 0 to 15 years, the incidence rate was 7.3 (4.6 for CD, 2.0 for UC, and 0.7 for IBD-U). An increase in incidence with age was observed (P = 0.0003). Over the 16-year period, the incidence increased for IBD patients (P = 0.01) and CD in particular (P < 0.0001), whereas the incidence for UC (P = 0.09) and IBD-U (P = 0.339) remained unchanged. IBD-projected data from 2016 to 2018 were 12.1, 12.3 and 12.6 per 100000 person-years, respectively. CONCLUSION: Pediatric-onset IBD incidence is around its highest point. The increase, which is particularly pronounced for CD, may be challenging to relate to causes of pediatric disease.
