I have monai:

Pytorch version: 1.12.1+cu116
MONAI flags: HAS_EXT = False, USE_COMPILED = False
MONAI rev id: 714d00d

Optional dependencies:
Pytorch Ignite version: 0.4.8
Nibabel version: NOT INSTALLED or UNKNOWN VERSION.
scikit-image version: NOT INSTALLED or UNKNOWN VERSION.
Pillow version: 9.3.0
Tensorboard version: 2.11.0
gdown version: 4.2.1

import itk
print(itk.version) -> 5.2.1

**from monai.data import ITKReader

itk_reader = ITKReader()**

Error:
OptionalImportError Traceback (most recent call last)

~/jupyter_dir/jupyter_env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/monai/utils/module.py in _wrapper(*args, **kwargs)
379 err_msg = f"required package {pkg_name} is not installed or the version doesn't match requirement."
380 if raise_error:
--> 381 raise OptionalImportError(err_msg)
382 else:
383 warnings.warn(err_msg)

OptionalImportError: required package itk is not installed or the version doesn't match requirement.

I tried re-installing packages, monai, etc. Nothing works, still getting the same error. I would appreciate any insights into this : )

MONAI version: 0.8.0 MONAI rev id: 714d00d suggest there are different versions of monai installed... please make sure you have at least python 3.8 and uninstall all the previous versions of monai then install https://docs.monai.io/en/latest/installation.html
