Best Answer

It depends what your ‘medical image’ is. For most radiography (x-ray, ultrasound, MRI, CT, etc.) images, they are in DICOM format and you would read the images with .dcm file extensions (also termed suffixes) with the dicomread (link) function. If you want to save ‘slices’ of a computerized tomographic file as individual images, save them as uncompressed ‘.jpg’ images, since that is what they are in the DICOM file.
