Both interpolation options only apply when dzout < dzin and when an output slice has a non-gappy neighbor. -skip 'n+gap' indicates that a gap is to be inserted between input slices #n and #n+1, where n=1,2,...; for example, -skip 6+5.5 means put a gap of 5.5 mm between slices 6 and 7. More than one -skip option is allowed. They must all occur
