Matlab has built-in support for DICOM (read/write). For writing a
DICOM file, just go to:

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/images/index.html?/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/images/dicomwrite.html

The question that remains, is where do these images come from ?
Without knowing the modalities or the proper DICOM object you will not
be able to create the correct meta data info for the header. This
would be better to investigate where is the source for those .mat
files.
