Create Image Datastore Containing DICOM Images
This example shows how to create an image datastore from a collection of DICOM files containing 2-D images.
Specify the location of a directory containing 2-D DICOM image files.
dicomDir = fullfile(matlabroot,'toolbox/images/imdata/dog');Create an imageDatastore, specifying the read function as a handle to the dicomread function.
dicomds = imageDatastore(dicomDir, ... 'FileExtensions','.dcm','ReadFcn',@(x) dicomread(x));
Read and display the first image in the datastore.
I = read(dicomds);
Display the image. The image has signed 16-bit data, so scale the display range to the pixel values in the image.
imshow(I,[])
