Amitesh,

	DICOM2 image reader is known to not be able to read all sort of DICOM. 
Could you please give a shot to: DicomSeriesReadImageWrite2. It uses 
GDCM as the DICOM mechanism to read the file. Hopefully it should handle 
your DICOM images.

	In all cases would it be possible that you send me an example of the 
image you were not able to read ? Thanks.

Mathieu
