Hi Mathieu,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the reply. <br>
<br>
The two tags I reported below are from a single DICOM image in the
series and not two images. The whole series has 68 DICOM images/files.
All of them have these two tags set in the way I reported.<br>
<br>
I used gdcmIO->SetLoadPrivateTags(true) in my code. I tried
commenting that out and still got the error. It worked only when I
manually removed (0021,1035) tag or set both tags to the correct
SeriesNumber (=25) in these DICOM files. I am only trying to understand
why these two private tags were causing the error I reported, if the
"private" tags are only loaded but never parsed by the ITK/GDCM.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Desika<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I think I figured this out. It seems to be the DICOM tags in my series. The
inconsistency of following two tags is causing the problem:
-----------
(0021,1003) SS 25 # 2, 1
SeriesFromWhichPrescribed
(0021,1035) SS 23 # 2, 1
SeriesFromWhichPrescribed
-----------
The Series I was using has a SeriesNumber of 25. My program can load the
series, if I (1) delete the above two tags, (2) Delete the second tag only
that has wrong SeriesNumber or (3) Set the second tag value to the same
value as the first tag (=25).
I do not know how itkGDCM handles the above two tags. Could there be a long
term solution for this problem within (itk)GDCM rather than changing my
program to fiddle with tags in the DICOM files, so they can be read?

No. ITK/GDCM will not use private tags for any reason. You must be
explicitely listing them as rules somewhere in your code to split out
your volume. You should double check your code.
Unless of course you were talking about Series UID, in which case yes
the two images will be explicitely set in two differents 'itk volume'
