There is a tiff class you might be able to use, as well as a multibandread() function that might work. Try one of those.

To load and save multispectral images (consisting of pairs of .hdr and .fla/.tif files), you could use the Scyllarus hyperspectral image processing toolbox. The MATLAB version of this toolbox is available for non-commercial use and can be downloaded from http://scyllarus.research.nicta.com.au/

The functions to look at are FLARead and FLAWrite under src/io. With these functions you can read from and write to the .fla format (ENVI-compatible), rather than any colour image format. Alternatively you can save the image to a .mat file but this option usually produces a much larger image.
