Summary:                    Medical Image Properties from vtkMedicalImageReader2
always return null when loading a DICOM file
Description: 
Data from Medical Image Properties from vtkMedicalImageReader2 always return
null when trying to load a DICOM file. Here is my code:

		medimg->SetFileName("I10"); //this file is placed right next to the built
executable, and is a DICOM file.
		medimg->Update();
		printf("Patient gender:
%s\n",medimg->GetMedicalImageProperties()->GetPatientSex());
		printf("Age %s\n",medimg->GetMedicalImageProperties()->GetPatientAge());
		printf("Modality %s\n",medimg->GetMedicalImageProperties()->GetModality());
