Thanks for the answer! Now I have finally reached coding that part, and
the above approach seems to work fine (although it would be nice to have
the property iteration also in C++ interface).

However, as far as I can understand the DICOM properties are actually
identified by a pair of numbers, and the property names like
"dcm:RequestedProcedureDescription" are actully some kind of translations
of that, correct? Is it possible to get also these numbers through the
ImageMagick?

Thanks
