> having an open dataset of MRI pictures with the age of the patient, history of diseases would considerably help and there is no way you can link it back Facial recognition works perfectly fine on MRI face renders. You speak awfully confidently about a problem you seem to have very little experience in. As with cryptography: Anyone can come up with suggestion that they themselves can't find an attack against.

True, true, pictures are even one level higher in terms of difficulty to anonymise right (and that's not even what they are asking, here it's about structured text records). FYI, high-res face MRI are just pictures of the face. So yes, if you share the picture of the face of someone, they may find your identity back, but it's not specific to MRI. Dealing with any medical record that contains pictures of patient you should take additional steps to prevent identification, and face is the most sensitive part of the body as it can be most likely identified. If tomorrow there are publicly available anonymised close-up pictures of cardiac MRI, it'd be extremely challenging to map them to their real owner with a 100% certainty but the discoveries it could lead to are very exciting (and the same with skin cancer pictures for example, or suspiciouses moles)
