I've only tried the DICOM reader once and I and the DICOM reader got
very confused by two related images the were in the same directory.

I found the example ITK/Examples/IO/DicomSeriesReadPrintTags.cxx very
helpful. There should be a tag that is different between the scout and
the real volume.

As I recall, there's also a comment in one of the DicomSeriesRead*.cxx
files in the same example directory that says how to tell the reader to
distinguish the scout and the volume.
