The code was written and finalized in 2019 with MATLAB R2018b. To the best of my knowledge, there was no other functionality that would directly import .vol-files.
This code let's you import volumetric CT data from General Electric/Waygate CT systems like v|tome|x M that has been reconstructed with their pheonix datos|x software (.vol-format) to MATLAB.
EXEMPLARY USAGE
The following path MUST contain the .vol file and the .pcr file
>> directory_imp = 'C:\path\to\folder\with\files'
>> [import_time, ImportedVolume] = import_vol_file(directory_imp);

The old code required files that have a certain size. This would result in more than one single package that has to be read. If the file was too small, there was a wrongful multiplication with zero, which resulted in an empty volume.
