/*
 * This small code shows how to use the gdcm.ImageRegionReader API
 * In this example we are taking each frame by frame and dump them to
 * /tmp/frame.raw.
 *
 * Usage:
 * $ bin/ExtractImageRegion.exe input.dcm
 *
 * Example:
 * $ bin/ExtractImageRegion.exe gdcmData/012345.002.050.dcm
 * $ md5sum /tmp/frame.raw
 * d594a5e2fde12f32b6633ca859b4d4a6  /tmp/frame.raw
 * $ gdcminfo --md5sum gdcmData/012345.002.050.dcm
 * [...]
 * md5sum: d594a5e2fde12f32b6633ca859b4d4a6
