Yes and no :)
Yes, you can read a 3D vtk image file, and yes you can write an 
itk::Image into a series of DICOM files.

No, because by default GDCM is writing Secondary Image Capture which 
does not have the Patient Module and therefore cannot be reconstructed 
as a volume (no Image Position/Orientation (Patient)) if you use any 
serious DICOM reader.
So you'll need an additional step in defining what is your DICOM Object 
(MR, CT, RT...)
