[ITK-users] Access DICOM private tags using SimpleITK

[Mathew Guilfoyle]

In ITK the GDCMSeriesFileNames class (equivalently the ImageSeriesReader$GetGDCMSeriesFileNames method from Simple ITK) can both take arguments to read private DICOM tags (typically manufacturer specific info that does not follow the general standard.)

I cannot figure out how to use this function to actually read in a series of images or a volume with the hidden tags (I know they are there as I can see them in Osirix!)

The list of filenames that the two methods above return as no different whether the 'loadPrivateTags'  attribute is set on or off.

Any ideas how I can access the private tags?

Cheers
