Enhanced DICOM Support

The dicomwrite function now supports exporting to DICOM files using the MR (magnetic resonance) and CT (computed tomography) modalities.

The dicominfo and dicomread functions can now read some files that are marginally noncompliant with the DICOM specification. Some commonly-used medical imaging devices produce such files. In addition, these functions can now read some files produced by GE devices that use certain private transfer syntaxes.

The toolbox includes a new function, dicomuid, that generates DICOM unique identifiers. This is the same method used by the dicomwrite function.
