I don't know if this one helps, but I figured it might be the most straightforward
plan for me. I was using a package called DCMTK available at
http://www.offis.uni-oldenburg.de/projekte/dicom/project_dicom4.htm
It provides executables to strip the meta information off DICOM files. It also
provides some API. But I found it hard to learn how to use the API, so for now I'm
defining a semi-manual process to extract the meta-information and parse it
sepatately.
