QUERY_DICOM trouble

Any suggestions as to why the QUERY_DICOM command might repeatedly
cause fatal errors in IDL 7.0 for specific target files? Other
commands like QUERY_TIFF, FILE_INFO work for the same targets.

Thanks,

I have a bug filed with ITT regarding the fact that IDLffDICOM will
crash the IDL runtime on reading certain DICOM files. The DICOM files
are valid as far as I can see and not only does IDLffDICOMEx read them
but every other DICOM implementation I have tried reads them just
fine. Since query_dicom uses IDLffDICOM, I suspect this is your
problem.

I ended up writing GDLffDICOM to cope with this problem
GDLffDICOM works exactly like IDLffDICOM but it has a few extra
features
like associating pixel data and setting DICOM elements.
