Disk IO in a variable

Is there a way that I can get the number of disk IOs from a transaction into a sql variable.

Currently I can do this in management studio.

set statistics io on

select ..........

And I get results like.

(39 row(s) affected)
Table 'xxx'. Scan count 1, logical reads 126, physical reads 2, read-ahead reads 0,

lob logical reads 0, lob physical reads 0, lob read-ahead reads 0.

I want to be able to do something like select @myios = @@IO_COUNT

Or something like this. I want to programmatically insert stats into a custom table for my application for review later in a user friendly way.
