Yes, I think lots of stuff just ignores DICOMDIR and scans image files
directly, it's also not an image file itself (though it is another
type of DICOM file) and only used when images are on 'DICOM media'
(which I think amounts to tape or CD), so lots of viewers probably
aren't equipped to handle it. Some applications will let you specify a
directory to load as an alternative to individual files.
