echo $dicom->profiler_diff('parse')."";

echo 'Patient name if exists: '.$dicom->value(0x0010, 0x0010).""; // Patient Name if exists

    if ($images !== FALSE)
    {
        foreach ($images as $index => $image)

            $dicom->write_image($image, 'dump.0.jpg');
            // To write another format, pass the format in second parameter.
            // This will write a png image instead
            // $test->write_image($image, $dir.$file.'.'.$index, 'png');
        }
    }
    else
