Example

procedure TMainForm.btnUltrasoundRegionsClick(Sender: TObject);
  //
  procedure ShowTags(memo: TMemo; tags: TIEDicomTags; indent: integer = 0);
  var
    i, j, k: integer;

    sDescription, sDataType, indentStr: string;
  begin
    indentStr := '';
    for k := 1 to Indent do
      indentStr := indentStr + ' ';
    for i := 0 to tags.Count - 1 do
    begin
      tag := tags.GetTag(i);
      sDescription := IEGetDicomTagDescription( tags, i );
      if sDescription = '' then
        sDescription := 'Unknown';
      sDataType := String( DicomTagToStr(tag^.DataType) );
      memo.Lines.Add( indentStr + Format('%d of %d: (%.4x,%.4x) %s (%s) : "%s"', [i+1, tags.Count, tag^.Group, tag^.Element, sDescription, sDataType, tags.GetTagString(i)]));
      if assigned(tag.Children) then
      begin

        for j := 0 to tag.Children.Count - 1 do
        begin
          memo.Lines.Add( indentStr + Format('- Child %d of %d:', [j+1, tag.Children.Count]));
          ShowTags( memo, tag.Children[j] as TIEDicomTags, indent + 1 );
        end;
      end;
    end;
  end;
