warning

"Non-contrasted MR imaging such as arterial spin labelling (ASL), time of flight (TOF), phase contrast (PC), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), and amide proton transfer (APT) imaging may provide an alternative imaging technique in answering specific diagnostic questions ¹³."

Inline EG

suggestion

"detection of focal lesions (e.g. tumour, abscess, metastasis)"

There Is

suggestion

"There is a 30% possibility of recurrence of hypersensitivity in patients who have had a previous hypersensitivity episode to gadolinium contrast agents ⁹. The risk of adverse reactions is higher in patients with bronchial asthma, a history of reactions to iodine-based contrast media, or others."

Line 29:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.

"There is an association between the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents in patients with renal failure and nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). However, nearly all unconfounded cases of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis have been linked to one of the three linear Group I gadolinium contrast agents."

Line 34:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.

Parentheses

suggestion

"Non-contrasted MR imaging such as arterial spin labelling (ASL), time of flight (TOF), phase contrast (PC), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI), and amide proton transfer (APT) imaging may provide an alternative imaging technique in answering specific diagnostic questions ¹³."
