Oxford Comma

"The aim is to illustrate the collecting systems, ureters and bladder with intravenous contrast, albeit in a single acquisition as opposed to the multiple and more dynamic traditional IVU. Visualisation of other structures in the abdomen is also better with CTU than with traditional IVU. Upper tract tumours, strictures and to a degree the function of the kidney can be assessed."

Line 20:44 · Use the Oxford comma in 'systems, ureters and bladder'.
