Has anyone found a solution to this? I really need a way to import those data to matlab?
I don't know that format, and neither does imread, unless it's really a jpeg2000 format. Try renaming the extension to one of these and see if imread will read it:
EXT ISA INFO READ WRITE ALPHA DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
j2c j2k isjp2 imjp2info readjp2 writej2c 0 JPEG 2000 (raw codestream)
jp2 isjp2 imjp2info readjp2 writejp2 0 JPEG 2000 (Part 1)
jpf jpx isjp2 imjp2info readjp2 0 JPEG 2000 (Part 2)
Not so good news: looks like .LJPEG files are produced by broken software.

you can search CBIS-DDSM dataset or MIASDbv1(Suckling et.al.) Breast can mammography images. I tried lots in DDSM (LJPEG to JPEG),but the decompressor file, their specified link is not reachable nowadays.

You need to get a reader for that type of file. As of R2011b (what I'm using now) it doesn't appear that imread() handles that format. Search the internet to see if anyone has written a MATLAB function to read that type of file format.
