[Dcmlib] Basic question

I feel embarassed about the question I am doing but... current 
documentation and examples seems to be too complicated to me.
I would like to read from a DICOM series the PATIENT NAME and other 
useful information.
Is it an easy way to do it with the VTK wrapper?

dicom_reader = vtkGdcmReader::New();
dicom_reader->RemoveAllFileName();
for(every file in a folder)
    dicom_reader->AddFileName(newFileDcm);
dicom_reader->Update();

and then?
With vtkDICOMImageReader we have the
const char * GetPatientName 
<http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkDICOMImageReader.html#a16> ()
method. Is there something similar with gdcm?

Thanks,

Luca
