Using the DICOM toolkit dcm4che from Matlab

Example showing how to load and use the dcm4che dicom toolkit

Matlab's image processing toolkit provides functions for reading and writing DICOM medical image files, but it does not provide a full DICOM toolkit for networking, structured reports, etc. This example shows how to call the robust and open-source dcm4che toolkit (www.dcm4che.org) to access greater DICOM functionality directly from matlab. You can use this to replace or enhance Matlab's DICOM interface and add DICOM networking.
