 Currently we have the Python examples:
- - *dcm_to_nrrd.py*: reads a complete dicom series from a folder and converts this to a nrrd file. Reads the window and level tags, and crops the image to this.
+ - *dcm_to_nrrd.py*: reads a complete dicom series from a folder and converts this to a [nrrd](http://teem.sourceforge.net/nrrd/) file. Nrrd is a very convenient format to store medical images. The script reads the window and level tags of the DICOM series, and windows the intensity range to these.
  - *resample_isotropically.py*: An example to read in a image file, and resample the image to a new grid.
  - *resample_tests.py*: Several ways to downsample an image.
  - *apply_lut.py*: in some DICOM files there is a tag VOILUTFunction. This is an example on how to apply this.
