Lint: cerebral-microbleed

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"causes include multiple (familial) cavernous malformation syndrome and post-cerebral radiotherapy"

Line 34:86 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-cerebral'.
Acronyms
warning

"The Standards for Reporting Vascular Changes on Neuroimaging 2 (STRIVE-2) advocates for use of 'microbleed' instead of 'microhaemorrhage' 55."

Line 3:68 · 'STRIVE' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"amyloid related imaging abnormalities (ARIA-H) 16"

Line 49:50 · 'ARIA-H' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"intracranial infection, e.g. cerebral malaria, mycotic aneurysm, dengue encephalitis, HSV encephalitis 8,37,38"

Line 77:118 · 'HSV' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"Cerebral microbleeds are defined by Standards for Reporting Vascular Changes on Neuroimaging 2 (STRIVE-2) as conspicuous, 2-10 mm, circular or elliptical, punctate regions of signal drop out (hypointense) with blooming artifact, located within the brain parenchyma 24,55. This blooming artifact grossly overestimates the size of these lesions, thus they are inapparent on other MRI sequences and on CT 24."

Line 130:100 · 'STRIVE' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

suggestion

"typically involves the cortical-subcortical junction; usually spares the basal ganglia"

Line 18:64 · Use semicolons judiciously.
Oxford Comma
suggestion
