This PR contributes toward #1032 by eliminating the need for FSL BET. This implementation requires Dipy for the nonlinear means denoising.
BTW - the nonlinear means denoising could be leveraged to calculate the sigma of the snr calculations more precisely, obtaining much better estimates.
By using an implementation closer to the gradient-based of (Mortamet, 2009), there is no more need for BET.
