Prefix Hyphens
warning

"alternate hypo-hyperechoic lines radiating perpendicularly from the surface of nodules (if the lesion is surrounded by echogenic tissue, hypoechoic strands will be seen; if the lesion is surrounded by fat, echogenic strands may be seen)"

Line 8:22 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'hypo-hyperechoic'.

Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Benign and malignant characteristics of breast lesions at ultrasound allow the classification as either malignant, intermediate or benign based on work published by Stavros et al. in 1995 1."

Line 1:125 · Use the Oxford comma in 'malignant, intermediate or benign'.
Semicolons
suggestion

"alternate hypo-hyperechoic lines radiating perpendicularly from the surface of nodules (if the lesion is surrounded by echogenic tissue, hypoechoic strands will be seen; if the lesion is surrounded by fat, echogenic strands may be seen)"

Line 8:180 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"small lobulations 1-2 mm on the surface; risk of malignancy rises with increasing numbers"

Line 16:51 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"in general terms, benign lesions compress with transducer pressure and malignant lesions displace the breast tissue without changing in height; this is the basis for elastography ref"
