"On IP/OOP imaging, signal loss is demonstrated when there is 10-15% fat fraction with maximum signal loss occurring when there is 50% fatty infiltration of the liver 16. In situations in which there is >50% fatty infiltration, the out-of-phase sequence paradoxically becomes less hypointense than at 50%. This happens because there are relatively fewer water molecules to cancel out the fat signal. Chemical shift artifact at the parenchyma-vessel interface aids in detecting this situation 13. Iron deposition can mask steatosis on IP/OOP imaging 16."

Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Hepatic steatosis is due to the abnormal accumulation of lipids, particularly triglycerides, within hepatocytes 3,4. These are found in both small and large vesicles. Macroscopically, the liver is enlarged, yellow and greasy. Steatosis can lead to fibrosis and cirrhosis."

Line 5:212 · Use the Oxford comma in 'enlarged, yellow and greasy'.
Inline EG
suggestion

"drugs: amiodarone, methotrexate, chemotherapy (e.g. tamoxifen)"

Semicolons
suggestion

"there is potential for missing mild hepatic steatosis on ultrasound if there is concurrent chronic renal disease, which increases the echogenicity of the kidneys; if there is any question that the patient may have a chronic renal disease, comparison of the left kidney with the spleen may be useful"

Line 114:169 · Use semicolons judiciously.
