                          [--rescaleSlope <double>] [--rescaleInterscept
                          <double>] [--seriesDescription <std::string>]
                          [--seriesNumber <std::string>] [--model
                          <std::string>] [--manufacturer <std::string>]
                          [--modality <std::string>] [--studyDescription
                          <std::string>] [--studyComments <std::string>]
                          [--studyDate <std::string>] [--studyID
                          <std::string>] [--patientComments <std::string>]
                          [--patientID <std::string>] [--patientName
                          <std::string>] [--] [--version] [-h]
                          <std::string>


 Where: 

   --processinformationaddress <std::string>
     Address of a structure to store process information (progress, abort,
     etc.). (default: 0)

   --xml
     Produce xml description of command line arguments (default: 0)

   --echo
     Echo the command line arguments (default: 0)

   --reverseImages
     Reverse the slices. (default: 0)

   --dicomPrefix <std::string>
     The prefix of the DICOM filename. (default: IMG)

   --dicomDirectory <std::string>
     The directory to contain the DICOM series. (default: ./)

   --rescaleSlope <double>
     Rescale slope [0028-1053]. Converts pixel values on disk to pixel
     values in memory. (Pixel value in memory) = (Pixel value on disk) *
     rescaleSlope + rescaleInterscept.  Default is 1.0. Data values are
     converted on write (the data is scaled and shifted so that the slope
     and interscept will bring it back to the current intensity range).
     (default: 1)

   --rescaleInterscept <double>
     Rescale interscept [0028-1052]. Converts pixel values on disk to pixel
     values in memory. (Pixel value in memory) = (Pixel value on disk) *
     rescaleSlope + rescaleInterscept.  Default is 0.0. Data values are
     converted on write (the data is scaled and shifted so that the slope
     and interscept will bring it back to the current intensity range).
     (default: 0)

   --seriesDescription <std::string>
     Series description [0008-103E] (default: None)

   --seriesNumber <std::string>
     The series number [0020-0011] (default: 123456)

   --model <std::string>
     model [0008-1090] (default: None)

   --manufacturer <std::string>
     Manufacturer [0008-0070] (default: GE Medical Systems)

   --modality <std::string>
     Modality [0008-0060] (default: CT)

   --studyDescription <std::string>
     Study description[0008-1030] (default: None)

   --studyComments <std::string>
     Study comments[0032-4000] (default: None)

   --studyDate <std::string>
     The date of the study [0008-0020] (default: 20060101)

   --studyID <std::string>
     The study ID [0020-0010] (default: 123456)

   --patientComments <std::string>
     Patient comments [0010-4000] (default: None)

   --patientID <std::string>
     The patient ID [0010-0020] (default: 123456)

   --patientName <std::string>
     The name of the patient [0010-0010] (default: Anonymous)

   --,  --ignore_rest
     Ignores the rest of the labeled arguments following this flag.

   --version
     Displays version information and exits.

   -h,  --help
     Displays usage information and exits.

   <std::string>
     (required)  Input volume to be resampled
