Assuming you have the Image Processing Toolbox, use dicomread to read the data from file, and then save to save the data to a mat file. Something like

 inputFilename = 'myDicomFile.dcm';
 inputFolder   = '/Users/somePath/dicomFiles';

 % read the file
 [X,map] = dicomread(fullfile(inputFolder,inputFilename));

 % now write to a mat file
 outputFilename = 'myMatFile.mat';
 outputFolder   = '/Users/somePath/matFiles';
 save(fullfile(outputFolder,outputFilename),'X','map');

If you have several files to read and write, you can choose an appropriate outputFilename for each.

Thanks for your reply. I have 500 DICOM images in inputfolder and I want to save all of them in one file. With your guidance, can I do this job with loop? I have a function for this but It does not save all of them.

Yes, a loop would do. Why does your function not save all of them?
