`dicom-anonymizer` is designed to retain date information within DICOM files, and will anonymize them rather than removing them entirely. This approach is taken to prevent potential crashes in certain applications that rely on these dates to work. This behavior complies with the DICOM standard, as mentioned in section [E.3.6](https://dicom.nema.org/medical/dicom/current/output/html/part15.html#sect_E.3.6).
