Spinal Level Format
warning

"Calcifications may be seen on radiographs, but the preferred imaging modality is contrast-enhanced CT. On CT, amorphous calcifications are typically seen in the superior fibres of the longus colli muscle tendons (at the C1-C2 level) 1-3. Occasionally the inferior fibres may be affected, as low down as T3. The longus colli muscles may also appear hypo-attenuating due to oedema."

Line 9:224 · Consider removing the duplication of spinal level in the second reference 'C1-C2'.

"Plain radiograph and CT"

Line 8:1 · "Plain radiograph and CT" is not a recognised heading for this article type.
There Is
suggestion

"Like other forms of calcific tendinitis, this condition typically occurs in adults in middle age (20-50 years old) 3. There is no consistent gender predilection across case series 4."

Line 3:140 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
Semicolons
suggestion

"MRI will easily demonstrate oedema; however, a high level of suspicion is needed as the calcifications are much harder to visualise."

Line 13:38 · Use semicolons judiciously.
