Could not create IO object for reading file C:/Users/gigabyte!/Desktop/output/pa000/st000/se029/ecg000.dcm  
Tried to create one of the following:  
NiftiImageIO  
NrrdImageIO  
GiplImageIO  
JPEGImageIO  
GDCMImageIO  
BMPImageIO  
LSMImageIO  
PNGImageIO  
TIFFImageIO  
VTKImageIO  
StimulateImageIO  
BioRadImageIO  
MetaImageIO  
MRCImageIO  
MINCImageIO  
MGHImageIO  
MRMLIDImageIO  
HDF5ImageIO  
GE4ImageIO  
GE5ImageIO  
You probably failed to set a file suffix, or  
set the suffix to an unsupported type.
