NAME
       ConvertImagePixelType - part of ANTS registration suite

SYNOPSIS
       ConvertImagePixelType infile.nii out.ext TYPE-OPTION

DESCRIPTION
	      ext is the extension you want, e.g. tif.	TYPE-OPTION  :	TYPE

       0      :  char

       1      :  unsigned char

       2      :  short

       3      :  unsigned short

       4      :  int

       5      :  unsigned int

       Note that some pixel types are not supported by some image formats. e.g.
	      int is not supported by jpg.

	      You can easily extend this for other pixel types with a few lines of code and adding usage info.	The image intensity will be scaled
	      to the dynamic range of the pixel type.  E.g. uchar => 0	(min), 255 (max).
