Quick summary: Elekta iView file does not have mandatory group length data element (0002,0000). Would have to check for that case and read until not group 2 any more, then rewind to start of group 8 to continue reading the proper dataset.
At least should add a check of group, element and throw an exception if (0002,0000) is missing.
