Units

error

"For higher heart rates (>80bpm), end-systolic acquisition (30-35% of R-R interval, or 350ms)²is often utilised because the slowest-motion phase shifts into systole at about >83 bpm ³."

Line 4:90 · Put a space between the number and the unit in '350ms'.

Headings Spacing

error

"Gated protocols in cardiac CT "

Line 5:1 · Never put spaces at either end of headings.

En Dash

error

"This mode requires a regular sinus rhythm and heart rate well below 60–65 bpm; an auto-gating software can detect if these criteria are met and make suggestions regarding the optimal protocol ³."

Line 35:74 · Use a hyphen-minus ('-') instead of an en-dash ('–').

Words We Never Use

error

"Motion correction algorithms can improve image quality at both low and high heart rates, enhancing the diagnostic value of scan data affected by motion artefacts ³."

Line 38:156 · Radiopaedia always uses 'artifacts' rather than 'artefacts'.

Acronyms

warning

"Via the attachment of ECG leads, cardiac gating aims to find a consistent portion of the R-R interval (measured as a percentage), most commonly at the mid to end-diastolic phase (around 70% of the R-R interval) ¹, where movement is at its least."

Line 3:93 · 'R-R' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
