how to read separetely the odd numbered dicom images and even number dicom images from folder

how to read the even number dicom images and oddnumbered dicom images from the same folder using the same code

projectdir = 'E:\SHIVA BACKUP\THYROID\P1\newcodes\data1\13002';
% y = length(projectdir);
y = 72;
Odd = zeros(128, 128, 1, 72, y, 'uint8');
Even = zeros(128, 128, 1, 72, y, 'uint8');
% Read the series of images.
for p=1:1:y
   if (mod(p,2)~=0)
   thisfile{p} = sprintf('IM_%d.dcm', p);
   filename = fullfile( projectdir, thisfile{p});
   imdata = dicomread(filename);
   imsize = size(imdata);
   if ~isequal( imsize, [128 128 1 72] )
     fprintf('file is unexpected size %s instead of [128 128 1 72], skipping "%s"\n', mat2str(imsize), filename);
   else
     count=1;
     Odd(:, :, :, :, count) = imdata;
     count=count+1;
   end
   if (mod(p,2)==0)
   thisfile{p} = sprintf('IM_%d.dcm', p);
   filename = fullfile( projectdir, thisfile{p});
   imdata = dicomread(filename);
   imsize = size(imdata);
   if ~isequal( imsize, [128 128 1 72] )
     fprintf('file is unexpected size %s instead of [128 128 1 72], skipping "%s"\n', mat2str(imsize), filename);
   else
     count=1;
     Even(:, :, :, :, count) = imdata;
     count=count+1;
   end
   end
   end
 end
    figure();
% Display the first image stack.

z=montage(Odd(:,:,:,:,p), []);
axis image
title('First file, all layers')
imcontrast(z)

% figure();
% % Display the first layer of all of the stacks
% montage( permute( X(:, :, :, 1, :), [1 2 3 5 4]) )
% title('First layer of all files')

I'm not sure if it's the answer to your question, but these lines are suspicous.

count=1;
Odd(:, :, :, :, count) = imdata;
count=count+1;

Basically, the two lines are overwriting each other. Every time through the loop, count is being reset to 1, which defeats the point of subsequently incrementing it. You will never ever store any data into Odd(:,:,:,:,2), because you keep resetting the value. Suggest that the "count=1" line be moved to the begining, outside the loop. Also, you might need separate counters for even and odd.

Also suggest that you intend your code better. It's really hard to read as is.
