As far as I know, I believe it is already supported, since that supplement was 
conceived in 2006 and the standard 
currently supported by pydicom is based on the 2008 DICOM standard (which 
includes all supplements published 
to date). If you browse both _dicom_dict.py and _UID_dict.py and compare with 
the the PDF you linked, you 
should find all the appropriate tags and UIDs, respectively. I looked through a 
few from the PDF and was able to 
locate them.

I also looked at http://www.dclunie.com/dicom-status/status.html to see if 
there were any updates since the 
2008 standard for DICOM RT Ion. It seems that there are updates, but they don't 
change the data dictionary nor 
add UIDs.

Sounds good. Once I get some Dicom-RT-Ion files I will test this out. I was not 
sure
what needed to be done to implements this.

Just for the records, you can now get a sample RT-Ion file here:

Closing this issue for now, as it appears to be resolved. I was able to read 
all types of files in the example files given in the last comment. 

If new supplements for RT Ion come out, new issues can be started for adding 
each one to the dictionary.
