error

"COVID19related adrenal haemorrhage (including in critically ill and ECMO patients) 12"

Litotes
warning

Line 4:74 · Consider using 'lack(s)' instead of 'not have'
Acronyms
warning

"COVID19–related adrenal haemorrhage (including in critically ill and ECMO patients) 12"

Line 16:84 · 'ECMO' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
Ranges
warning

"acute to subacute haematomas contain areas of high attenuation that usually range from 50-90 HU"

Line 34:90 · Don't add words such as 'from' or 'between' to describe a range of numbers.
Prefix Hyphens
warning

"Of note, adrenal congestion, described as adrenal thickening and peri-adrenal stranding, has been reported to precede adrenal haemorrhage 10, although more research is needed to understand this process."

Line 39:76 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'peri-adrenal'.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"organised chronic adrenal haematoma appears as a mass with a hypoattenuating centre, with or without calcifications (also known as adrenal pseudocysts)"

Line 36:85 · Use the Oxford comma in 'centre, with or without'.
