[Insight-users] error C2872: 'uint16_t' : ambiguous symbol

[Dženan Zukić]

Well, that is clear. gdcm does not use itk, but itk uses gdcm. So gdcm is
unaware of itk and its namespace. You should have attempted the other thing,
replacing unit16_t with unsigned short (the other alternative), not
itk::uint16_t.
