Reviewer 2 Report

The authors provide a radiological view for Bechet’s disease. I have some doubts and hope authors could provide some clarifications.

 

1.     There are some typos and grammar errors in the writing. The manuscript is also not organized well. For example, there are duplicated sentences in abstract. Please spend time to revise the manuscript.

 

2.     There is lack of explanation on the legend of Figure 4.

 

3.     Please highlight the contributions of this paper. What are the core contributions?

 

4.     Please add more literatures in the introduction. The background is not clear for people to understand.

 The manuscript is still not organized well. For example, the formats of some paragraphs are not correct. The citations of figures and references are not correct. Please continue improving it. Also, please continue checking the typos and grammar errors.

Thank you for your second review. We improve our review in language editing and in its structure. In our opinion, the paragraphs are well structured, we only improved language editing and added some observations in the introduction. Please specify in which way we could improve the review structure.

The citations of figures in the text are correct, and so are the references. Please specify your observation...

Reviewer 3 Report

Although it is a rarely written and important topic, I still feel that the paper could be improved with better writing.

1. Introduction needs to mention purpose of this review paper - why is imaging an important part in Bechets' disease

2. Grammatical errors to be corrected as mentioned.
