 ===Quick Tour of Features and Use===
 The module takes one DWI volume and computes a DTI volume. The parameters are the following:

-* '''Input panel:'''
+** ''Input DWI Volume'' is the input DWI volume,
-* '''Parameters panel:'''
+** ''Output DTI Volume'' is the DTI volume that will be estimated.
-* '''Output panel:'''
+** ''Output Baseline Volume'' is the average of the B0 images (non-diffusion weighted images) of the DWI sequence. This volume is useful to have a structural representation of the DTI volume .
-* '''Viewing panel:'''
+** ''Otsu Threshold Mask'' is a approximated mask of the white matter that can be used to filter out the background.

 ===Module Description===
-Overview of what the module does goes here.
+This module estimates the diffusion tensor model from a Diffusion Weighted Image (DWI) Volume. The results is a tensor volume that can be used to compute different anisotropy measurements, for example Fractional Anisotropy, and perform tractography.
