// This example shows how to use the DiffusionTensor3DReconstructionImageFilter
// to reconstruct an image of tensors from Diffusion weighted images. See the
// documentation of DiffusionTensor3DReconstructionImageFilter,
// TensorRelativeAnisotropyImageFilter, TensorFractionalAnisotropyImageFilter
// first.
//
// The example takes diffusion weighted images in the Nrrd format, writes out
// the gradient and reference images for the users reference and computes and
// writes out the Fractional Anisotropy and Relative Anisotropy images.
//
// The easiest way to get started is to try out the filter on a sample dataset.
//
// Acquiring sample datasets:
//  1. Get the DWI datasets from
//        ftp://public.kitware.com/pub/namic/DTI/Data/dwi.nhdr
//        ftp://public.kitware.com/pub/namic/DTI/Data/dwi.img.gz (gunzip this)
//     These datasets contain a reference T1 image and 30 diffusion weighted
//     images. See the nrrd header for details such as B value etc..
//
//  2. Run the example with the following args
//       dwi.nhdr 80 Tensors.mhd FractionalAnisotropy.mhd RelativeAnisotropy.mhd 1
//
//  3. You should find 30 gradient images, 1 reference image, the FA and RA images
//     in your working directory, which you can fire up in your favourite volume
//     browser.
//

// Computing (NAMIC), funded by the National Institutes of Health
// through the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, Grant U54 EB005149.
