Load volumes
ImageIO's volread() function can load multi-dimensional datasets and create 3D volumes from a folder of images. It can also aggregate metadata across these multiple images.
For this exercise, read in an entire volume of brain data from the "tcia-chest-ct" folder, which contains 25 DICOM images.
This exercise is part of the course
