How to use the same filename more than once in a loop?

I am using the mini-MIAS database that contains 322 mammogram image files that are named as mdb001.pgm, mdb002.pgm, ....... mdb322.pgm. Some of the images are to be used twice or thrice. I have created a vector of filenames as

imname=(mdb001, mdb002, .... mdb005, mdb005, ......., mdb126, mdb126, mdb126, mdb127,....., mdb322)

How to write a loop that can call these images as the sequence given in the vector.

D - if your vector of filenames is really a cell array of strings, then you could try something like

filenames = {'mdb001.pgm', 'mdb002.pgm', 'mdb005.pgm'};
for file = filenames
    % convert to string/character array if necessary
    fileAsString = char(file);
    % do something
    fprintf('%s\n',fileAsString);
end
