SimpleITK dicom series, read tags

Dear ITK users,

As we are working on a reader study, we want to change some dicom tags so the reader is unable to discover which of the images they are looking at. Previously I wrote tool for that in ITK, which works well, but since those computers usually run windows, I have tried writing it in SimpleITK.

I follow the following example: https://github.com/SimpleITK/SimpleITK/blob/master/Examples/DicomSeriesReadModifyWrite/DicomSeriesReadModifySeriesWrite.py

However, I cannot read the dicom tags, as I get the following error: AttributeError: ‘ImageSeriesReader’ object has no attribute ‘MetaDataDictionaryArrayUpdateOn’

Do I need to compile a certain version of SimpleITK (which would defeat the purpose), or what else am I doing wrong? Reading the tags of single files works well, by the way.

You are looking at the current development branch, master, and not the release. We recently added that convenience method.

Here is the example for the 1.0 release:
