If False (default), raises an InvalidDicomError if the file is missing
the File Meta Information header. Set to True to force reading even if
no File Meta Information header is found.
Returns
-------
FileDataset
An instance of FileDataset that represents a parsed DICOM file.
Raises
------
InvalidDicomError
If `force` is True and the file is not a valid DICOM file.
See Also
--------
pydicom.dataset.FileDataset
Data class that is returned.
pydicom.filereader.read_partial
Only read part of a DICOM file, stopping on given conditions.
Examples
--------
Read and return a dataset stored in accordance with the DICOM File Format
>>> ds = pydicom.read_file("rtplan.dcm")
>>> ds.PatientName
Read and return a dataset not in accordance with the DICOM File Format
>>> ds = pydicom.read_file("rtplan.dcm", force=True)
>>> ds.PatientName
Use within a context manager:
>>> with pydicom.read_file("rtplan.dcm") as ds:
>>> ds.PatientName
