       This program will convert a NIfTI file into a DICOM series.

       It reads the NIfTI file header and does the best job that it can to generate a series of DICOM files.  To
       help  it  along,  you  can  provide a DICOM file from the same series on the command line after the NIfTI
       file, or even better, list all of the DICOM files that were used as the source of the data in  the  NIfTI
       file.  Study-related meta data will be copied from these DICOM files into the output DICOM files.

       Unless  the  --no-reordering  option  is  provided,  it  will  ensure  that  the  images are in the usual
       orientation (right is left, posterior is down) by reordering the columns or rows as compared to the NIFTI
       file.

       If the NIFTI file is floating-point, then the data might be rescaled when  written  to  DICOM  as  16-bit
       integers.   If  any data values are too large to fit into 16 bits, then all the data will be scaled down.
       If the data values all have a magnitude smaller than 2.05, then all the data  will  be  scaled  up  by  a
       factor of 1000.
