.SH "Simple usage"
.PP
\fBgdcmconv\fP is a great tool to convert broken PAPYRUS 3\&.0 implementation into properly parsable DICOM file\&. Usage is simply:
.PP
.PP
.nf
$ gdcmconv input.pa3 output.dcm
.fi
.PP
.PP
or if you prefer being explicit:
.PP
.PP
.nf
$ gdcmconv -i input.pa3 -o output.dcm
.fi
.PP
.PP
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\&.
