-* Interfaces to fast external libraries, e.g. `ASTRA`_ for X-ray tomography, `STIR`_ for emission tomography (preliminary), `pyFFTW`_ for fast Fourier transforms, ...
+* Interfaces to fast external libraries, e.g. `ASTRA`_ for X-ray tomography, `pyFFTW`_ for fast Fourier transforms, ...
 * A growing number of "must-have" operators like `Gradient`, `FourierTransform`, `WaveletTransform`
 * Several solvers for variational inverse problems, ranging from simple `gradient methods <steepest_descent>` to state-of-the-art non-smooth primal-dual splitting methods like `Douglas-Rachford <douglas_rachford_pd>`
 * Standardized tests for the correctness of implementations of operators and spaces, e.g. does the adjoint operator fulfill its defining relation?

-STIR for emission tomography
-============================
-For applications in emission tomography, i.e. PET or SPECT, install `STIR`_ with Python bindings.
-Support for STIR is currently very limited.
