There are two main files, "ReadDicomElementList" which will read all tags of a dicom file into a struct and "WriteDicomElementList" which can write them back to a new file.

A large dicom dictionary is included from GDCM with private tags from Philips, Siemens and Toshiba (See Dictionary-License.txt).

These functions are usable for creation of an anatomize function, or to manipulate data which is not support by Matlab defaults functions (like writing a dicom file with one big volume inside)

Example read output:

>> Elements(4)
name: 'MediaStorageSOPInstanceUID'
data: '1.2.840.113619.2.1.2.2011002556.2.10.602503127'
group: '0002'
number: '0003'
type: 'UI'
length: 46
info: 'Type Included'
explicit: 1
location: 192
