Hi,

You could try ImplicitVrs -> {{GroupNumber, ElementNumber}->"vr",....}

Alternatively, you could just import a particular file using 
ReadListBinary as the appropriate type, Partition it and then Display 
it using ListDensityPlot with Mesh -> False. You may need to install 
the FastBinaryFiles package for fast import of binaries.

I have a feeling the header information is different in the DICOM-RT, 
but I don't have such a file to check against,  and such a file may or 
may not be supported by the current import options for DICOM files. In 
any case, it is just a flat binary file of image intensity values.

BTW, where are the Dicom.mx and DicomDataDictionary.mx files located? 
Maybe this could be copied and extended upon.

Cheers
Yas
