from IPTImages by Brett Shoelson
Returns a list or selectable UI of images in specified directory. By default, shows IPT demo images.

imgformats(augment)
function filterspec = imgformats(augment)
% FILTERSPEC = IMGFORMATS(AUGMENT)
% Creates variable FILTERSPEC, comprising MATLAB-recognized image
% extenstions, in a format suitable for calling
% UIGETFILE(FILTERSPEC).
% 
% AUGMENT is an optional input argument that takes a binary 1 or
% 0. If 1, filterspec is augmented with non-listed, but
% recognized, image formats. (Notably, DICOM.) The default is 0.
