Hello,  
After I segmented the 3D image from a set of dicom images, I would like to save them all in a “.json” file that has all the dicom images saved to call the file in Matlab. Anyone can help in this point will be appreciated.

I would recommend to store 3D images in standard file formats, such as nrrd. In Matlab, you can load/saved nrrd files using nrrdread.m and nrrdwrite.m scripts available [here](https://github.com/PerkLab/SlicerMatlabBridge/tree/master/MatlabCommander/commandserver).
