Ok I am not sure I understand that. Are you saying that gdcm is 
producing non homogenous data element ? Could you send me one image 
written by gdcm to check with dcmtk, but I am pretty sure that this is 
forbidden by standard. You cannot mix Explicit and Implicit(*).

Ps: The only case where this happen, is a very special case where the 
MetaHeader is in Explicit(garantee by standart) and the rest is 
described following the TS mentionned in group 0002.
