This PR optimizes the dicomio.Reader by replacing the use of binary.Read (which uses reflection) with io.ReadFull into a pre-allocated scratch buffer.

Changes:

  • Added a scratch [8]byte field to the Reader struct.
  • Updated ReadUInt8, ReadUInt16, ReadUInt32, ReadInt16, ReadInt32, ReadFloat32, and ReadFloat64 to use io.ReadFull with the scratch buffer and direct binary.ByteOrder calls.

Performance Impact:
Benchmarks show a significant reduction in memory allocations and a modest improvement in execution speed.
Example (BenchmarkParse/NoOptions/1.dcm-4):

  • Allocations reduced from ~3962/op to ~2881/op.
  • Execution time improved.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 15194020630630652401 started by @suyashkumar

Replaced `binary.Read` with `io.ReadFull` and a scratch buffer in `pkg/dicomio/reader.go`.

This eliminates reflection overhead and reduces allocations for every read operation.

Impact:
- Reduces allocations by ~27% in some benchmarks (e.g., `BenchmarkParse/NoOptions/1.dcm-4`).
- Improves execution time by ~5%.

Verification:
- Run `go test ./...`
- Run `go test -bench . -benchmem ./...`
