// The \doxygen{FlipImageFilter} is used for flipping the image content in any
// of the coordinate axes. This filter must be used with \textbf{EXTREME}
// caution. You probably don't want to appear in the newspapers as
// responsible for a surgery mistake in which a doctor extirpates the left
// kidney when he should have extracted the right one\footnote{\emph{Wrong
// side} surgery accounts for $2\%$ of the reported medical errors in the United
// States. Trivial... but equally dangerous.} . If that prospect doesn't
// scare you, maybe it is time for you to reconsider your career in medical
// image processing. Flipping effects which seem innocuous at first view may
// still have dangerous consequences. For example, flipping the cranio-caudal
// axis of a CT scan forces an observer to flip the left-right axis in order
// to make sense of the image.
