Converting 10bit tiff to 16 bit

[XCoop]

I have a camera that stores 10 bit tiffs. I need to be able to promote them to 16 bit so I can read them. This is one case that 10 bits are neccessary (as opposed to 8 bit) I realize the displya will be in 8 bit but i need the added two bits of resolution for calibration. doesn anyone know of a method for converting a 10 bit tiff to a 2D array of 16 bit integers
