Image Processing Toolbox 4.2 Release Notes

New Features

The Image Processing Toolbox 4.2 includes the following new features, added since Version 4.1.

Enhanced DICOM support

• The dicomwrite function can now write data in any modality that can be read using dicomread. Note, however, that when writing data in these modalities, dicomwrite does not verify the data or check to see if the correct amount of data is written.
• The toolbox can now read and write private metadata, even if they are not defined in the DICOM data dictionary. When private metadata is not in the data dictionary, dicomread uses generic names for the metadata fields, rather than the descriptive names available to attributes defined in the data dictionary.
• You can create a custom data dictionary that contains definitions of your private metadata, using the dicomdict function.
