    Remarks

    This method can read files in either official "Part10" format, with the 128 byte header, or unofficial "Part5" format, without a header. Detection of the type is automatic.

    The file may have been written by the Write method or by other DICOM software.

    Example
    DicomDataSet ds = new DicomDataSet();
string filename = "Dataset.dcm";
                
ds.Read(filename);
ds.Read(filename, new ReadBehaviours() { CloseFilesAfterReading = true }); //optional readbehaviour overload
