dicomwrite function help needed

I have over 100 ct images. With your help I was able to make a 3d box variable. In my work space it shows a variable imstack of 512*512*143.

m=143;
imstack=zeros(512,512,m);
for z=1:m;
    n=dicomread([num2str(z),'.ima']);
    imstack(:,:,z)=n;
end
dicomwrite(imstack,'X.ima');

How do I write that imstack into a file, say some 'X.ima'? I am having problem with the dicomwrite function.

??? Error using ==> dicom_prep_ImagePixel>getPhotometricInterp at 98
Cannot determine photometric interpretation.

This error pops up when I try to execute the code.

Perhaps give this tool on the FEX a try:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/27941-dicom-toolbox

[ramakrishna bathini]

can you please tell me how to install the toolbox..

[Sean de Wolski]

Download it, move the folder to the MATLAB folder in your documents file (this adds it to the path) and then call the:

dicom_write_volume

function

[ramakrishna bathini]

wow this is amazing ...i just typed in v=dicom_read_volume('file name') ..i actually stacked the whole images.....

but i am getting errors with the dicom_write_volume..i am still unable to view that 3d image.

[ramakrishna bathini]

the variable v says too many variables in min and max columns in workspace...do i have to reduce the variable dimensions ???
