Semicolons

suggestion

"Noncontrast CT, when not associated with venous haemorrhage or infarction can be a subtle finding, relying on hyperdensity of the sinus being identified ^1,5. Thrombus can appear as a hyperdense vein or sinus for the first 7-14 days; this is an accurate sign when present ⁶. The cashew nut sign, which describes small, concave, juxtacortical intracerebral haemorrhages, is specific for cerebral venous thrombosis when present ¹⁴."
