+/**
+ * \brief
+ * Constructor dedicated to deal with the *pixels* area of a ACR/DICOMV3
+ * file (gdcm::File only deals with the ... header)
+ * Opens (in read only and when possible) an existing file and checks
+ * for DICOM compliance. Returns NULL on failure.
+ * It will be up to the user to load the pixels into memory
+ * \note the in-memory representation of all available tags found in
+ * the DICOM header is post-poned to first header information access.
+ * This avoid a double parsing of public part of the header when
+ * one sets an a posteriori shadow dictionary (efficiency can be
+ * seen as a side effect).
+ * @param filename file to be opened for parsing
+ * @deprecated use SetFilename() + Load() methods
