Problem in viewing 48 bit tif image using Matlab

[IndiJones]

Here's the details of the image obtained using 'imfinfo' command:

Filename: 'red1_composite.tif'
FileModDate: '30-Apr-2004 12:30:24'
FileSize: 4718784
Format: 'tif'
FormatVersion: []

Height: 768
BitDepth: 48
ColorType: 'truecolor'
FormatSignature: [73 73 42 0]
ByteOrder: 'little-endian'
NewSubfileType: 0
BitsPerSample: [16 16 16]

The error message that I'm getting with 'imshow' command is:

>> imshow('red1_composite.tif')
??? TIFFFillStrip: red1_composite.tif: Read error at scanline 384; got 0 bytes, expected 12648451.

What could be the problem?
