Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?=E2=9A=A1=20Bolt:=20Optimize=20Reader.Read*=20m?=
 =?UTF-8?q?ethods=20to=20avoid=20reflection?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Replaced `binary.Read` with direct `io.ReadFull` into stack-allocated buffers in `pkg/dicomio/reader.go`. This avoids reflection overhead and reduces memory allocations.

Performance impact:
- BenchmarkParse/NoOptions/1.dcm-4: ~14% faster
- BenchmarkParse/SkipPixelData/1.dcm-4: ~25% faster
- Consistent improvements across all benchmarks.
