//  Probably the most common representation of datasets in clinical
//  applications is the one that uses sets of DICOM slices in order to compose
//  tridimensional images. This is the case for CT, MRI and PET scanners. It is
//  very common therefore for image analysists to have to process volumetric
//  images that are stored in the form of a set of DICOM files belonging to a
//  common DICOM series.
//
//  The following example illustrates how to use ITK functionalities in order
//  to read a DICOM series into a volume and then save this volume in another
//  file format.
