Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Wolfe described the first qualitative classification of mammographic density patterns in 1976. Wolfe assigned the mammograms to four parenchymal patterns (N1, P1, P2 and Dy) according to the distribution of fat and the prominence of the ducts:"

Line 6:163 · Use the Oxford comma in 'P1, P2 and Dy'.

"Tabár (1997) classifies the mammograms in five patterns (I to V) based on an histologic-mammographic correlation with a three-dimensional, subgross (thick-slice) technique, and on the relative proportion of four “building blocks” (nodular densities, linear densities, homogeneous fibrous tissue, radiolucent fat tissue):"
