Module Description

Here comes a description what the module is good for. Explain briefly how it works and point to the references giving more details on the algorithm.

If you are documenting a CLI, the description should be extracted from the corresponding XML description. This could be done automatically using the following wiki template:

Converts diffusion weighted MR images in dicom series into Nrrd format for analysis in Slicer. This program has been tested on only a limited subset of DTI dicom formats available from Siemens, GE, and Phillips scanners. Work in progress to support dicom multi-frame data. The program parses dicom header to extract necessary information about measurement frame, diffusion weighting directions, b-values, etc, and write out a nrrd image. For non-diffusion weighted dicom images, it loads in an entire dicom series and writes out a single dicom volume in a .nhdr/.raw pair.
