Here we present a series of improvements and new features of the TORTOISE diffusion MRI data processing software (www.tortoisedt.org). TORTOISEv3 has been programmed in C++ and it is now significantly faster, can be batched and it fully benefits from modern multi-core CPU architectures. The DIFFPREP module brings a multitude of new and state-of-art features including DWI denoising, Gibbs ringing removal, and the ability to perform motion and eddy currents distortion correction for very high b-value data. The new DIFFCALC module can perform MAP-MRI propagator estimation and the output can be easily imported in other software packages for statistical analysis and atlas creation.
