[Insight-users] Reading DICOM Private Tags

[Mathieu Malaterre]

The only restriction when using ITK/GDCM is that SQ (nested dataset)
are not loaded. So I would bet that the OP is trying to read parameter
from a SQ. Any tag private or not is supported by default.
I do not have philips DCS around, but that would be my guess. As a
side note I am *really* surprised that echo time or repetition time
are stored in private fields (but that's a different subject).
