Read and write single file dicom volumes

09 Mar 2009 (Updated 09 Mar 2009)

Two functions that allow to read/write 3-D volume data from/to the DICOM format.

File Information
Description	Two functions that allow to read/write 3-D volume data from/to the DICOM format. The volumes are stored/read to/from a zip-file that contains DICOM slices. This format is very useful as many DICOM tools allow the import of sliced DICOM volumes. However, often this involves lots of files. Thus, the slices are automatically zipped up in order to retrieve a single file that can be easily handled. Example usage and background information can be found at http://www.medical-image-processing.com/programming/storing-3-d-data-in-a-portable-single-file-dicom-volume-format
Acknowledgements	This submission has inspired the following: Dicom directory (of slices) to 3D volume image
Required Products	Image Processing Toolbox
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.7 (R2008b)
