How can I import 2D/3D SEG-Y seismic data files into MATLAB?

I need to import binary SEG-Y (society of exploration geophysicists Y format) files directly into MATLAB. How can I do that?

Importing 2D/3D SEG-Y files directly is currently not supported in MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a).

As a workaround, you may consider using the SeisLab suite of tools on the File Exchange. In particular, the function read_segy_file.m might be of relevance:
