A 180-degree horizontal projection can be created by summing up the image along the rows. Here is an example code of how this can be done:
% Load the DICOM image
filename = 'your_dicom_file.dcm'; % Replace with your DICOM file name
dicomImage = dicomread(filename);
% Display the original DICOM image
imshow(dicomImage, []);
title('Original DICOM Image');
% Create a 180-degree horizontal projection by summing along rows
projection = sum(dicomImage, 2);
% Plot the projection
figure;
plot(projection);
title('180-Degree Projection');
xlabel('Pixel Index');
ylabel('Summed Intensity');
For more information on the functions used, kindly refer to the following documentation links:

I hope this helps!
