I'm playing with DICOM tags and overlay.xml
I've noticed that if you add a "Patient Age" tag like:
<i r="2"><e k="1" i="00101010"/></i>
the age value is shown with trailing zero...
i.e. in a 45 years old patients you see 045Y...
is this a bug or it's possible to get rid of that 0 and have just 45Y?
I think 3 digits should only be shown in those rare patients with 100 years and more

for the same reason if you read pediatric studies of kids under 10 years of age the tag value is shown with 2 trailing 0s.
i.e. 006Y instead of 6Y

It's not a bug, the values are presented the way they are written in the dicom meta data. There will be some improvements in the future regarding custom annotations.
