-InVesalius is a free 3D Medical Reconstruction Software that encourages 3D
-visualization and rapid prototyping  based on 2D CT DICOM files.
-
-All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
---- TODO: HTTP ---. If you're just getting started, here's
-how we recommend you read the docs:
-
-    * First, read docs/intro/install.txt for instructions on installing InVesalius.
-
-    * Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/intro/tutorial01.txt,
-      docs/intro/tutorial02.txt, etc.).
-
-    * You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics)
-      next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specific
-      problems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details.
-
-Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
-should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket
-here:

-http://svn.softwarepublico.gov.br/trac/invesalius/report?action=new
-
-To get more help:
-
-    * Join the #invesalius channel on irc.freenode.net. Lots of helpful people
-      hang out there. Read the archives at --- TODO: HTTP ---.

-To contribute to InVesalius:
-
-    * Check out --- TODO: HTTP ---/community/ for information
-      about getting involved.
+InVesalius generates 3D medical imaging reconstructions based on a sequence of 2D DICOM files acquired with CT or MRI equipments.  InVesalius is internationalized (currently available in English, Portuguese, French and Spanish), multi-platform (GNU Linux, Windows and MacOS) and provides several tools:
+  * DICOM-support including: (a) ACR-NEMA version 1 and 2; (b) DICOM version 3.0 (including various encodings of JPEG -lossless and lossy-, RLE)
+  * Image manipulation facilities (zoom, pan, rotation, brightness/contrast, etc)
+  * Segmentation based on 2D slices
+  * Pre-defined threshold ranges according to tissue of interest
+  * Edition tools (similar to Paint Brush) based on 2D slices
+  * 3D surface creation
+  * 3D surface connectivity tools 
+  * 3D surface exportation (including: binary STL, OBJ, VRML, Inventor)
+  * High-quality volume rendering projection
+  * Pre-defined volume rendering presets
+  * Volume rendering crop plane
+  * Picture exportation (including: BMP, TIFF, JPG, PostScript, POV-Ray)
