How do I iterate variable names when loading dicom files?

I have 10 dicom files in a folder with names ["dicom1200.dcm","dicom1201.dcm"..."dicom1209.dcm"]. For each of these files, I want to load the dicominfo as a variable named dicom1200info, dicom1201info, etc. How do I do this so that the variable names are set iteratively? I am not sure cell arrays would work here because each dicominfo is itself a whole struct. I have heard it said that I should not be doing this, but I am not aware of any workarounds (additionally, i just need the task done and computational expense is not an issue).

Thanks

"How do I do this so that the variable names are set iteratively?"

Just use a cell array.

"I am not sure cell arrays would work here because each dicominfo is itself a whole struct."

A cell array works for me without any problem:

C = {struct('A',1:3);struct('A',4:6)}

C = 2×1 cell array
    {1×1 struct}
    {1×1 struct}

"I have heard it said that I should not be doing this, but I am not aware of any workarounds"

Indexing into cell arrays is not a "workaround", it is basic MATLAB.

files = dir('*dcm') ; 
N = length(files) ; 
for i = 1:N
    file = files(i).name ; 
    % do what you want 
end
