+## Usage
+BrainLes features [Jupyter notebook tutorials](https://github.com/BrainLesion/tutorials/tree/main/BraTS-Toolkit) for glioma segmentation with BraTS Toolkit.
+Further, have a look at the Python examples in this repository for preprocessing (`0_preprocessing_single.py`), segmentation (`1_segmentation.py`) and fusion (`2_fusion.py`).
 
-## Brats Preprocessor
+## Brats Segmentor
+BraTS Segmentor enables orchestration of BraTS brain tumor segmentation algorithms for generation of fully-automated segmentations.
+For segmentation your files should be `preprocessed`, meaning they should be co-registered and skullstripped in SRI-24 space.
+You can preprocess your files using [BrainLes preprocessing](https://github.com/BrainLesion/preprocessing) (recommended) or the deprecated preprocessor of BraTS Toolkit (see below).
+
+### Python package
+Please have a look at `1_segmentation.py` in this repository for a demo application.
+
+### Command Line Interface (CLI)
+Type `brats-segment -h` after installing the python package to see available options.
+
+## Brats Fusionator
+BraTS Fusionator can combine the resulting candidate segmentations into consensus segmentations using fusion methods such as majority voting and iterative SIMPLE fusion.
+### Python package
+Please have a look at `2_fusion.py` in this repository for a demo application.
+
+## Brats Preprocessor (deprecated)
 BraTS Preprocessor facilitates data standardization and preprocessing for researchers and clinicians alike. It covers the entire image analysis workflow prior to tumor segmentation, from image conversion and registration to brain extraction.
 
+> WARNING: BraTS Preprocessor is deprecated. It still works but we recommended using [BrainLes preprocessing](https://github.com/BrainLesion/preprocessing) instead which offers much more flexibility.

 ### Processing Modi
 BraTS Preprocessor offers the following preprocessing modes:
