       This program allows adjustment of a DICOM series.

       In its most basic functionality, this command reads a DICOM series and then writes it out with a new UID.
       It strips out any meta data that is not recognized as part of the SOP class that it is writing.  In other
       words, its main purpose is to coerce the data to fit the requested SOP class.

       Currently,  only three output SOP classes can be written: Secondary Capture, CT, and MR.  Enhanced CT and
       Enhanced MR cannot be written, but they can be read, therefore  this  program  can  be  used  to  convert
       enhanced single-file CT and MR DICOM into a series of DICOM files.

       The  written  data has the ImageType set to DERIVED\SECONDARY\OTHER and has a new series number and name.
       It isn't meant to replace the original data, it is simply meant to coerce the data  into  a  format  that
       might be more compatible with other software.

       Reformatting  of  the data (MPR) is permitted during the conversion.  This is an experimental feature and
       causes much of the per-instance meta data to be discarded.
