Hello,

I’ve been using [pyelastix](https://github.com/almarklein/pyelastix) toolkit in order to perform non-rigid image registration. I needed to boost the contrast within the images I was using in order to improve registration, however the pyelastix wrapper [does not allow applying the transform to other images](https://github.com/almarklein/pyelastix/issues/13). I was interested in finding out whether the [ITKElastix framework](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKElastix) allows passing the transformation to another image and if so, how can I do it.

Thank you for your time.

Yes, the general approach is to invoke `itk.elastix_registration_method`, then `itk.transformix_filter` to other images. Take a look [here](https://github.com/KitwareMedical/HASI/blob/35e0a2bb13c4febf360282aa1fc1fd8f13305af0/src/hasi/mouse_femur_tibia_ct_morphometry.py#L174-L207) and cells 57-58 [here](https://github.com/KitwareMedical/HASI/blob/5ceff68344c34f3719c89ae4990fed1b3279e76e/examples/MouseFemurMicroCT.ipynb).
