Description : advanced normalization tools for brain and image mapping

The ANTS package is designed to enable researchers with advanced tools for
brain and image mapping. Many of the ANTS registration tools are
diffeomorphic, but deformation (elastic and BSpline) transformations are
available. Unique components of ANTS include multivariate similarity metrics,
landmark guidance, the ability to use label images to guide the mapping and
both greedy and space-time optimal implementations of diffeomorphisms. The
symmetric normalization (SyN) strategy is a part of the ANTS toolkit as is
directly manipulated free form deformation (DMFFD).

^^
This paragraph could be written in a way to clarify that this tool
analyses brain images (i.e it has nothing to do with organizing
mind/ideas)

it never used 'mind' in the description but lets indeed make it more
descriptive/less confusing:

Description: advanced normalization tools for brain and image analysis
Advanced Normalization Tools (ANTS) is an ITK-based suite of
normalization, segmentation and template-building tools for quantitative
morphometric analysis.

better?

The concept of "brain and image mapping" seems to be gone, I don't know
how important it is.

At the risk of being picky... ITK is quite technical. GUI might be more
explicit.

Thanks,

imho it is ok if it made it cleaner

Who said it is a GUI? ;-)

I'm not sure that "advance normalization tools" brings that much in
the synopsis but eating space that could better be used for something
more precise wrt the real use of the software.

The long description makes it clear what "ANTS" means, which is
enough.

Dropping the acronym expansion from the synopsis would help bringing
more important word there, such as "morphometric".....
