Take a look at the reviewer guidelines

I have a question regarding the title of the article: the software is called mrivis and the title on the repo refers only to neuroimaging. It also seems that the file formats supported by the software are neuroimaging-specific. I wonder whether the title of the article could be made more specific to reflect this?

[raamana]

Thanks Ariel for agreeing to edit and starting the review. Appreciate it.

Yes, the docs need to improved, and I plan to fix it shortly.

Just to clarify, yes It’s mostly tested for neuroimaging data so far, but there is absolutely nothing that’s not generic to other medical image data i.e. any type of 3D/4D data that can be read by nibabel or similar library.

Also, I've just updated the paper.md, is it possible to regenerate the PDF for review? cc @arfon
