Missing Tag Declarations

[karmakul]

Hello,
I've recently come across some tags that are defined in 2004's version of the standard. These tags are not defined in dcmdata/include/dcdeftag.h:

Detector Manufacturer's Model Name (0018,702B) (type 3)
Lossy Image Compression Method (0028,2114) (type 3)

Maybe there are more, I didn't check it thoroughly.

Do you plan to sync DCMTK with the standard?

Danke schön
Kirill

When DCMTK 3.5.3 was released the 2004 edition of the DICOM standard was not yet available. The comment header of "dicom.dic" lists all supplements and correction proposals which have been incorporated into the dictionary in addition to the 2003 edition of the standard.

Yes, we do intend to update the data dictionary for the next release of DCMTK - this is what we always do.
