Acronyms

warning

"Frequent findings in advanced cirrhosis include hypertrophy of the caudate lobe and lateral segments of the left lobe (segments 2 and 3) with concomitant atrophy of the posterior segments (6 and 7) of the right lobe. These changes are likely related to changes in blood flow between the segments. See article: caudate-right lobe ratio (C/RL)."

Line 49:359 · 'RL' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"Treatment depends on the underlying aetiology and presence of complications. One of the key roles of diagnostic radiology is detecting hepatocellular carcinoma. Six-monthly ultrasound surveillance is recommended in cirrhotic patients per the 2023 AASLD (American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases) guidelines ¹⁵. Interventional radiology can be very helpful for the treatment of portal hypertension and its complications (e.g. TIPS, ascites drainage), as well as chemoembolisation or radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma."

Semicolons

suggestion

"hepatic arteries: "corkscrew" appearance; increased velocity (compensating for decreased portal vein flow)"

Line 88:48 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"CT is insensitive in early cirrhosis; findings become more apparent as fibrosis progresses to established cirrhosis:"

Line 100:40 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"regenerative nodules: usually isodense to background liver parenchyma on non-contrast CT; no arterial phase enhancement; enhance similarly to the surrounding parenchyma in the portal venous and delayed phases ^7,9"

Line 115:103 · Use semicolons judiciously.
