save a 3D .mat file as a single dicom file

hi

am trying to save a 3D .mat file as a single dicom file, is there a function in matlab that allows me to do that ?? i have CT images as separate slices and i would like to save them in one single .dcm file so i tried to load them in matlab using dicomread but i couldnt save them in one single dicom file while keeping the header information.

thanks Hannah

I usually use this utility when I have to do that:

thank you Sean but this doesn't allow me to save the whole volume as one file it saves the 3D volume as a stack of 2D images which i already have. i need to save the whole 3D volume in one file.
