Emphasis

warning

"Note: This article is intended to outline some general principles of protocol design. The specifics will vary depending on MRI hardware and software, radiologist and referrer preference, institutional protocols, patient factors (e.g., allergy), and time constraints. "

Line 4:4 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: '<em>Note: This article is intended to outline some general principles of protocol design. The specifics will vary depending on MRI hardware and software, radiologist and referrer preference, institutional protocols, patient factors (e.g., allergy), and time constraints. </em>'

Colons

warning

"Note: This article is intended to outline some general principles of protocol design. The specifics will vary depending on MRI hardware and software, radiologist and referrer preference, institutional protocols, patient factors (e.g., allergy), and time constraints."

Line 4:12 · The first word after a colon should almost always be lowercase. In this case, it's not: ': This article'.

Accepted Abbreviations

warning

"look for cortical or subcortical hyperintensities (e.g. radial glial bands, infarcts, demyelination, abnormal cortex etc...)"

Line 44:132 · Check the abbreviation form against the style guide: 'etc..'.
