DICOM does not define file extension (.dcm), but only recommends .dcm
when storing on disk (rfc3240).

What I would also encode is that DICOMDIR is a special file compare to
other DICOM file (it is an index pointing to other DICOM files). i am
guessing this is also a special case for ginkgo-cadx.
It looks like `file` is capable of recognizing dicom file anyway:

$ file --mime-type /tmp/BLA
/tmp/BLA: application/dicom
