Inputs:
[Mandatory]

newstr or None and with values which are a newbytes or None or a
newstr or None, nipype default value: {})
Environment variables
ignore_exception: (a boolean, nipype default value: False)
Print an error message instead of throwing an exception in case the
interface fails to run
image_info: (an existing file name)
specify image information file. the image info file is generated
from original dicom image by diff_unpack program and contains image
orientation and other information needed for reconstruction and
tracking. by default will look into the image folder for .info file
flag: -info %s
image_orientation_vectors: (a list of from 6 to 6 items which are a
float)
specify image orientation vectors. if just one argument given,
will treat it as filename and read the orientation vectors from
the file. if 6 arguments are given, will treat them as 6 float
numbers and construct the 1st and 2nd vector and calculate the 3rd
one automatically.
this information will be used to determine image orientation,
as well as to adjust gradient vectors with oblique angle when
flag: -iop %f

when oblique angle(s) applied, some SIEMENS dti protocols do not
adjust gradient accordingly, thus it requires adjustment for
correct

in the given reference, all other 5 image orientation options will
be IGNORED

3 letters with no space in between.
for example, RAS means the voxel row is from L->R, the column
is from P->A and the slice order is from I->S.
by default voxel order is determined by the image orientation
(but NOT guaranteed to be correct because of various standards).
for example, siemens axial image is LPS, coronal image is LIP and
sagittal image is PIL.
this information also is NOT needed for tracking but will be saved
in the track file and is essential for track display to map onto
the right coordinates
flag: -vorder %s
Outputs:
track_file: (an existing file name)
output track file
