BiCal non-uniformity correction Dialog is further simplified and optimized:

Numerous improvement to BiCal algorithm:
1. parallelization with about 20% further speed up
2. Another 20% NU improvement on BPD dataset

BiCal Non-uniformity correction:  resolved an issue when simply applying Bias Field correction to the Air voxels would amplify the noise.  New algorithm intelligently corrects transition from Air to tissue so the effective field remains smooth. The non-unifomity correction improvement in the tissue is identical for both variants.

Simple Field application makes the noise amplified.
Intelligent processing of Tissue-to-Air transition
