fd = fullfile(pwd, 'dcms');
fs = ls(fullfile(fd, '*.dcm'));
ims = [];
for i = 1 : size(fs,1)
    im = dicomread(fullfile(fd, strtrim(fs(i,:))));
    ims{i} = im;
end
save ims.mat ims

@yanqi liu Thank you for your response. I tried but it is throwing the following error.

------------------------------------------------

Error using images.internal.dicom.getFileDetails (line 14)

Error in dicomread>newDicomread (line 194)

fileDetails = images.internal.dicom.getFileDetails(filename, verifyIsDICOM);

Error in dicomread (line 91)

[X, map, alpha, overlays] = newDicomread(msgname, frames, useVRHeuristic);

Error in untitled7 (line 5)

im = dicomread(fullfile(fd, strtrim(fs(i,:))));

I got a mat file of size 1x100 where each cell represents an image . How can I get a matrix where each column represents an image?

Hi, I made some changes in Yanqi Liu's answer. Try this!

fd = fullfile(pwd);
fs = ls(fullfile(fd, '*.dcm'));
ims = [];
for i = 1 : size(fs,1)
    im = dicomread(fullfile(fd, strtrim(fs(i,:))));
    ims(:,:,i) = im;
end
save ims.mat ims
