[Insight-users] Can't read Philips dicom data

I've been working with some Philips dicom data, and having
some difficulties.  I had been corresponding with the list a few years back
about similar problems, and thought you guys may be able to help.  The
basic situation is this:

I have a data disc with a dicom directory containing IM_###, PS_###,
and XX_### files, where ### are integers. The pack-in philips reader
can read and display the series, but ITK readers are unable to.  Below
is the output from DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2.  In essence, it can
read the series headers, but associates only one file with each
series, and therefore fails.  I have verified this situation by
removing files from the directory while using the pack-in philips
reader to read all available series.  I can read a given 3D data set
with only two files, one IM_### file and one PS_### file. However, ITK
readers can not work with just these two files. I've heard rumblings
about a new philips one file dicom format..could this be it?  Anyone
have any ideas?


OUTPUT
-------------

The directory:

C:\Consulting

Contains the following DICOM Series:



Now reading series:
