    Remarks

    Recursive use of this property and the datasets contained within it allows representation and manipulation of the hierarchical structure of a DICOMDIR file.  The Children property exists for all DicomDataSet objects, but is only created by ReadDirectory or AddToDirectory and is only used by WriteDirectory.  There are normally five levels, the objects representing the DICOMDIR file itself, and the four hierarchical levels PATIENT, STUDY, SERIES and IMAGE.
