I am trying to write an intensity range between 0-2510 (and then update the rescale intercept tag to -1024).  ImageReadDicomSeriesWrite compiles and runs without problems, however the image data in the output .dcm files is always truncated to 8 bits.  Any tags I specify seem to be ignored (eg. "0008|0060" Modality  or "0028|1052" rescale intercept.  I'm using itk-3.16.0 and I've used both the itk gdcm and also my local build of gdcm2 (2.0.12).

You need something more recent than ITK 3.16 according to bug report.
