SYNOPSIS

           file-in   DICOM input filename

           bitmap-out  Bitmap output filename

                    print version information and exit

             -V   --verbose
                    verbose mode (warning+error).

SIMPLE USAGE

       gdcm2pnm will take as input DICOM and render it into a bitmap file using the window/level
       attributes value.

           $ gdcm2pnm input.dcm output.png

       It is much different from the gdcmraw or gdcmimg command line tool as it will render a
       DICOM image. This means that the output will be rendered in 8bits ready for display.
