SIMPLE USAGE

gdcmpap3 is a great tool to convert broken PAPYRUS 3.0 implementation into properly parsable DICOM file. Usage is simply:

$ gdcmpap3 input.pa3 output.dcm

or if you prefer being explicit:

$ gdcmpap3 -i input.pa3 -o output.dcm

Even though gdcmpap3 can overwrite directly on the same file ( input.pa3 = output.dcm ), it is recommended that user should first convert into a different file to make sure the bug is properly handled by GDCM.
