Hi there,

Thanks for the issue. The DICOM dictionary used in the released version 0.4.2 is out of date since it uses an old version of pydicom. Using the latest version of dicompyler from source, you can read the file without any issues.

Build instructions can be found here on the wiki.

Hope that helps.

Excellent, thank you @bastula!

Do you expect to release a new dicompyler version soon?

[bastula]

I do plan to release a new version. However, I am not satisfied with the performance regressions that Python 3 / wxPython 4 bring to dicompyler. It is quite a bit slower with all the latest updates. I think once the performance issues are resolved, I would feel better about releasing a new binary version.

Of course, anyone is more than welcome to run it from source in the mean time.

Hope that makes sense!

Fair enough. :)
