DICOMDIR files do not contain any pixel information but rather basic header information along with the path to each file in the dataset. In order to get the pixel data from each of the images, you'll have to traverse the dicomdir dataset to get the filepaths to the individual dicom files (relative to the current directory) and then load the pixel data from each of the individual dicom files.
