Hi Vincent,

	You are reaching the limits of gdcm, unfortunately. I still believe 
that you can read those, but expect some pain :).
	There is one hidden `feature` that prevent people from loading long 
binary stream, so don't be suprised if after loading you DICOM DS you 
cannot see the RTDOSE Tag. Have a look at
SetMaxSizeLoadEntry for more info. There is a thin layer exposed in ITK 
for that. I still believe that in the end you should do what you want 
because I know that people are reading 0029-1010 properly, so as long as 
you know which field to load you should be fine.

Good luck, keep posting,
Mathieu
