How to run 'dicomanon' on all '.dcm' files in a directory (including all subfolders)?

Hi,

I'm new to Matlab and coding in general. I need to remove the patient information from a large number of dicom files. I need to write a script that finds all the dicom files in a given directory (including all subfolders) and applies to 'dicomanon' function to them.

The root directory contains 14 separate folders for different batches of scans, and each of those 14 folders contains two subfolders (one subfolder containing DTI scans and the other for T1 scans).

I've got a backup copy of the folder so I'd like to anonymise the files without changing the names or the strcuture of the file hierarchy. Any advice on how I might do this would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Use the dir function to generate a full file list and then loop through them.

list=dir('C:\path\**\*.dcm');
