Description
In one exercise of the Tools and Troubleshooting course we ask participants to debug a faulty DICOM file where a Sequence Delimitation Item of a sequence with undefined length encoding is completely absent from the file. Unfortunately, when running dcmdump --ignore-errors, a SequenceDelimitationItem is "invented" by dcmdata and shown as part of the dcmdump output, which actually hides the problem. There should be at least an option where dcmdump can be configured to not show such invented items. This might require the addition of a flag at sequence level that indicates whether a delimiter was really read from file.
