Answer 1

I've faced with the same problem, after doing some research on the suggested link above. I've managed to solve it by updating to the latest pydicom module "1.2.0" and installing gdcm. You can update the pydicom with pip install -U git+https://github.com/pydicom/pydicom.git

You can find the latest gdcm here and this link explains the installation.

I use anaconda and it's easier to install the gdcm package and solve the problem. If you use anaconda just type inside from your environment: conda install pydicom --channel conda-forge to get pydicom's latest and

conda install -c conda-forge gdcm

to get the gdcm. This resolves the problem. Hope these will help.
