"Post-biopsy haemorrhage is detectable on multiparametric prostate MRI, particularly in the peripheral zone 2, as hyperintense areas on T1W sequences, due to the paramagnetic effect of methaemoglobin."

Line 6:4 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'Post-biopsy'.

"Alone, the positive predictive value of this haemorrhage exclusion sign is about 50%, but with consideration of other features on other sequences, this can approach 95% for prostate cancer 3. This can be especially useful in the post-biopsy state, where post-biopsy changes are considered to reduce the diagnostic yield of MRI."

Line 9:251 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-biopsy'.
