Inputs:

    [Mandatory]
    terminal_output: ('stream' or 'allatonce' or 'file' or 'none')
            Control terminal output: `stream` - displays to terminal
            immediately, `allatonce` - waits till command is finished to display
            output, `file` - writes output to file, `none` - output is ignored

    [Optional]
    args: (a string)
            Additional parameters to the command
    baselineSegmentationVolume: (an existing file name)
            Label volume that contains segmentation of the structure of interest
            in the baseline volume.
    baselineVolume: (an existing file name)
            Baseline volume to be compared to
    changingBandSize: (an integer)
            How far (in mm) from the boundary of the segmentation should the
            intensity changes be considered.
    environ: (a dictionary with keys which are a value of type 'str' and
             with values which are a value of type 'str', nipype default value:
             {})
            Environment variables
    followupVolume: (an existing file name)
            Followup volume to be compare to the baseline
    ignore_exception: (a boolean, nipype default value: False)
            Print an error message instead of throwing an exception in case the
            interface fails to run
    outputVolume: (a boolean or a file name)
            Output volume to keep the results of change quantification.
    reportFileName: (a boolean or a file name)
            Report file name
    sensitivityThreshold: (a float)
            This parameter should be between 0 and 1, and defines how sensitive
            the metric should be to the intensity changes.
    terminal_output: ('stream' or 'allatonce' or 'file' or 'none')
            Control terminal output: `stream` - displays to terminal
            immediately, `allatonce` - waits till command is finished to display
            output, `file` - writes output to file, `none` - output is ignored

Outputs:

    outputVolume: (an existing file name)
            Output volume to keep the results of change quantification.
    reportFileName: (an existing file name)
            Report file name
