Ah - so…this is local Institutional Review Board. The papers in the literature are probably asserting that the research conformed to the Declaration of Helsinki - that’s different.
IRB’s ask all sorts of questions, some justified and some not. If the calculations done by FIJI affect patient (or human subject) care, they it’s a legitimate question. If not, not (in my opinion). One might as well ask if the Java compiler is validated.
Usually these sorts of questions creep in because some commercial package *has* been “validated” and there is pressure applied to insist that everyone in the institution use the same package. Usually, it’s not legitimate - but that doesn’t mean that it can be ignored.
Usually, you have to write a few sentences in response, and good judgement prevails.
Usually…
