>> lookfor dicominfo

 dicominfo                      - Read metadata from DICOM message.

>> help dicominfo

 dicominfo  Read metadata from DICOM message.
    INFO = dicominfo(FILENAME) reads the metadata from the compliant
    DICOM file specified in the string FILENAME.

    INFO = dicominfo(FILENAME, 'dictionary', D) uses the data dictionary
    file given in the string D to read the DICOM message.  The file in D
    must be on the MATLAB search path.  The default value is dicom-dict.mat.

    Example:

      info = dicominfo('CT-MONO2-16-ankle.dcm');

    See also dicomdict, dicomread, dicomwrite, dicomuid.
