position indexes 3D matrix

hi,

I am trying to obtain the position of the values higher than a threshold (in terms of indexes (i,j,k))within a 3D matrix.

In a matrix 2D I use the command "[row,cols]=find..." but I don´t know if this can be done in a 3D matrix.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

Take a look at linear indices and IND2SUB

M = ceil(10*rand(5,4,3)) ;
idx = find(M > 5) % linear indices
[ri,ci,pi] = ind2sub(size(M), idx) sub indices

idx = find...(my_matrix)
[rows cols pags] = ind2sub(size(my_matrix),idx);
