    Hi,

    How does ezDicom deal with bad tags in dicom files? (as in, tags in the wrong sequence or with incorrect length data)

    I ask because I have a series of files which only ezDicom seems to be able to open. I'm developing some code using the DCMTK libraries and that fails to open these files, throwing the error:

    DcmItem: Dataset not in ascending tag order, at element (0000,0000)
    DCMSequenceOfItemsL Parse error in sequence, found (adde,efbe) instead of sequence delimiter.

    or

    DcmItem: Dataset not in ascending tag order, at element (0000,0000)
    DcmElement: Unknown Tag & Data(614e,656d) larger (538976314) that remaining bytes in file.

    or

    Dcm2xml: error (Corrupted Data) reading file:

    But ezDicom opens these perfectly. What's your secret?

    Thanks,

    Mark

      PS. and when ezDicom does open these files, the offending tags are not shown.
