"It is good practice to get into the habit of looking at the scout radiograph(s) before reviewing the main imaging stack(s). Occasionally abnormal skull morphology, fractures and previous neurosurgical procedures are easier to appreciate on the scout than the main stack, especially if the centre still scans using a step and shoot protocol precluding MPRs."

Line 10:73 · Do not use plurals in parentheses such as in 'radiograph(s)'.

"Something that is worth remembering is that just because you looked at it does not mean you have to include it in the report. Exactly what your standard normal CT head ends up being will be dependent not only on your training and personality but also on your referrers and their clinical question(s). See CT head standard report."

Oxford Comma
suggestion

"It is good practice to get into the habit of looking at the scout radiograph(s) before reviewing the main imaging stack(s). Occasionally abnormal skull morphology, fractures and previous neurosurgical procedures are easier to appreciate on the scout than the main stack, especially if the centre still scans using a step and shoot protocol precluding MPRs."

Line 10:163 · Use the Oxford comma in 'morphology, fractures and previous'.

"Do not forget that a CT of the head does not just look at the brain. Soften the window to something suitable for soft tissues and especially in the anterior face including the globe, sinuses, palate and pharynx. Check the scalp for focal lesions or haematomas."

Line 24:197 · Use the Oxford comma in 'sinuses, palate and pharynx'.
