I installed itk-elastix and after I imported it and read Dicom images, it worked correctly. But, when I’m using itk.ParameterObject.New() or any other function the kernel crashed or died without any errors. Also, it happens in Colab.  
pip install itk-elastix  
import itk  
import numpy as np  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  
fixed\_image = itk.imread(fixed\_image\_path, itk.F)  
moving\_image = itk.imread(moving\_image\_path, itk.F)  
parameter\_object = itk.ParameterObject.New()

itk-elastix 0.19.2 should fix the crash. Take a look here:

> <https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKElastix/issues/265>

> Similar to #258, it crashes silently on my computer. This is enough to trigger i…t:
> \`\`\`py
> print("Pre-loading ITK DLLs")
> \_ = itk.ElastixRegistrationMethod
> \`\`\`
> I tried these versions:
> \- itk-elastix-0.17.1 (itk-5.3.0)
> \- itk-elastix-0.18.0 (itk-5.4rc1)
> \- itk-elastix-0.19.0 (itk-5.4rc1)
> \- itk-elastix-0.19.1 (itk-5.4rc2) \*\*crashes\*\*
> 
> Only the latest version crashes for me. This is Python 3.9.13 on Windows 11.
