Research direction
Start in rt_utils/image_helper.py at load_dcm_images_from_path and inspect how each DICOM file is read. Apply the issue's suggested forced-read behavior while retaining the ImageOrientationPatient check, then verify that non-standard DICOM files can be loaded without admitting datasets that lack that attribute.
