//  This example should arguably be placed in the previous filtering
//  chapter. However its usefulness for typical IO operations makes it
//  interesting to mention here. The purpose of this example is to read an
//  image, extract a subregion and write this subregion to a file. This is a
//  common task when we want to apply a computationally intensive method to
//  the region of interest of an image.
//
//  As usual with ITK IO, we begin by including the appropriate header files.
