[MINC-users] Convert DICOM EPIs from 3D volumes to 2D slices

The conversion from 3D MINC to 2D MINC is very straight forward, say
you just wanted the 10th Z slice from a MINC volume, you would do
this:

   mincreshape -dimrange zspace=10,0 3d.mnc 2.mnc

The conversion to DICOM be it 2D or 3D is more problematic.
