HOWTO: Run Python in Parallel
We can improve performace of python calculation by running python in parallel. In this turtorial we will be making use of the multithreading library to run python code in parallel.
HOWTO: Use GPU in Python
If you plan on using GPUs in tensorflow or pytorch see HOWTO: Use GPU with Tensorflow and PyTorch
This is an exmaple to utilize a GPU to improve performace in our python computations. We will make use of the Numba python library. Numba provides numerious tools to improve perfromace of your python code including GPU support.

dcm2nii
dcm2niix is designed to convert neuroimaging data from the DICOM format to the NIfTI format. The DICOM format is the standard image format generated by modern medical imaging devices. However, DICOM is very complicated and has been interpreted differently by different vendors. The NIfTI format is popular with scientists, it is very simple and explicit. However, this simplicity also imposes limitations (e.g. it demands equidistant slices).
