Enum: DICOMDeidentificationMethodEnum

The Basic Application Level Confidentiality Profile and its options defined in DICOM PS3.15 Annex E, as coded in PS3.16 Context ID 7050 (De-identification Method). These codes are recorded in the De-identification Method Code Sequence (0012,0064) to document what was done to an instance. The "Clean" options remove additional identifying content; the "Retain" options preserve information that the basic profile would otherwise remove.
