Read in the 9 images with imread.

image1 = imread('image1.tif');
image2 = imread('image2.tif');
image3 = imread('image3.tif');
image4 = imread('image4.tif');
image5 = imread('image5.tif');
image6 = imread('image6.tif');
image7 = imread('image7.tif');
image8 = imread('image8.tif');
image9 = imread('image9.tif');

Then concatenate:

image3D = cat(3, image1, image2, image3, image4, image5, image6, image7, image8, image9);

Thanks but how you can show these images in one figure ? I've tried implay but it's so heavy by the way my question is about how can i collect them out of matlab and then i work on them under matlab hope you understand me :/

You can display them in separate axes on your GUI that you built with GUIDE if you want. Or just bring up a new blank figure and use subplot(3, 3, n) where n = 1 to 9 to display your 9 slice images.

How to plot them as 3D volume after concatenating?

You can try a program like Avizo. Otherwise if you use MATLAB you are pretty much limited to isosurfaces and cutaway views. See the Volume Viewer app on the Apps tab of the tool ribbon.
