The DICOM files have multiple sever DICOM non-conformities. The most serious are:

  • CharacterSet is not saved in the file. It seems that the file uses Windows-1251 code page, which is not even a valid DICOM character set.
  • XRayTubeCurrent field is stored incorrectly (it must be an integer value, the value is 4.1 - see David Clunie's Blog: The DICOM Exposure attribute fiasco)

There are also some incorrectly generated UIDs.

I would recommend to contact your device manufacturer and report these errors.

That said, I’ve added two rules to the DICOM patcher that can fix the two serious issues. It will be available in Slicer Preview Release that you download tomorrow or later. Enable Fix invalid exposure tags and Specify character set with cp1251 parameter.
