Spacing

"Ultrasound is good for identifying vascular structures in the lateral neck. The origin of the internal and external carotid arteries is the main point of sonographic interest as the carotid space superior to this cannot be visualised due to the mastoid process."

Line 71:77 · 'k. T' should have one space.
List Caps
