Importing DX image with malformed tag causes error

The error below comes up in the task_admin page when OpenREM tries to import data from a particular Siemens radiographic room. It helpfully suggests changing the pydicom config to change the error to a warning by setting "pydicom.config.convert_wrong_length_to_UN = True".
