How to slice volume data recorded in a 1D vector

The output file of a radiation transport Monte Carlo simulation contains the following 1D vectors:

R = 0,1,2,3,4
Phi = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Theta = 0,1,2,3,4

which represent indexes of steps in the Radius, azimuthal angle and polar angle

Radius step = 0.2 cm
Phi step = 36 degrees
Theta step = 36  degrees

The 4th column contains the dose deposited in the spherical sector limited by (R_j,R_j+1), (Phi_j,Phi_j+1), (Theta_j, Theta_j+1) With reference to the comprehensive explanation kindly posted by a 3D graphic expert http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/275550-how-to-slice-a-sphere-using-spherical-coordinates#answer_215445

I have got the above mentioned data converted to cartesian coordinates. So I still have 4 1D vectors [x y z v_csv] where v_csv contains the dose values. My goal is to slice the dose along planes passing through the coordinates center (0, ,) and containing the Y_axes and the Z_axes (basically plane X=0) then rotate such a plane about the Z_axis by an increment of the azimuthal angle Phi and slice the dose again.

I tried to use the worked out examples in Matlab documentation of the graphical function 'slice' but I kept getting the same error:

>> h = slice(x,y,z,v_csv,xd,yd,zd);
Error using slice (line 81)
V must be a 3-D array. 

>> slice(x,y,z,v_csv,xslice,yslice,zslice)
Error using slice (line 81)
V must be a 3-D array.

I do not know how to convert the 1D vector v_cvs into a 3D volume to be able to mimic MatLab on-line examples. I am leery of using MatLab command 'reshape' because it easily reshuffles the data. I mean every dose value is uniquely referred to a coordinates triplet (x,y,z). If it was referred to another triplet (x1, y1,z1) then the visualization would be misleading.

I would appreciate some hints. Thank you in advance Maura [e-mail]
