New issue 159 by manueli...@gmail.com: problem with UN VR type
https://code.google.com/p/pydicom/issues/detail?id=159

Hi,
Im a new user of python and I need to read the information of the dicom
tags. I was using pydicom but I have a problem. If the tag is 'UN' unknown,
pydicom it is no capable to read it. I'm a usually Matlab user
and, "dicominfo" is capable o do it, like you can see in his code :

"case 'UN'

% It's possible that the attribute contains a private sequence
% with implicit VR; in which case the Data field contains the
% parsed sequence.
if (isstruct(rawAttr.Data))
processedAttr = parseSequence(rawAttr.Data);
else
processedAttr = rawAttr.Data';
end"
My question is if you have any idea about I can read this 'UN' tag with
pydicom.

Thanks,
Manuela

Hi, we are over on github now. Please create an issue over there
(https://github.com/darcymason/pydicom/issues/new) and we can discuss
further.

But quick first answer ... pydicom should handle UN, just returning it as
bytes. Can you provide more detail on the error message you are getting?
