Lint: hepatic-metastases

Strong List Colon Position
error

"T1: moderately hypointense"

Line 67:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T1:</strong> moderately'

"T2: mildly to moderately hyperintense"

Line 68:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T2:</strong> mildly'

"T1 C+ (Gd): enhancement may be lesional or perilesional (enhancement outside the confines of the T1 delineated lesion) 7"

Line 70:4 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T1 C+ (Gd):</strong> enhancement'

"T1 C+ (Eovist/Primovist):"

Line 78:4 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T1 C+ (Eovist/Primovist):</strong>'

"DWI/ADC b600-800: restricted diffusion with ADC values lower than those of the surrounding parenchyma18"

Line 84:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>DWI/ADC b600-800: </strong>restricted'
Citation Preceding Space
error

"DWI/ADC b600-800: restricted diffusion with ADC values lower than those of the surrounding parenchyma18"

Line 84:126 · Citations must have a preceding space, e.g. needs evidence <sup>2</sup>. '<sup>18</sup>'
Optional Plurals
error

"number, size and location (using the Couinaud classification) of tumour(s)"

Line 90:80 · Do not use plurals in parentheses such as in 'tumour(s)'.
Prefix Hyphens
warning

"Routine greyscale ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound, and intra-operative ultrasound all have roles to play."

Line 49:68 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'intra-operative'.

"Some primaries have a tendency to produce hyper-enhancing metastases, including renal cell carcinoma, thyroid carcinoma, neuroendocrine tumours, etc. (see hypervascular liver lesions)."

Line 62:46 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'hyper-enhancing'.

"multiple hepatic cysts: no enhancement or mural nodules; can be hyper-dense/intense due to blood or infection"

Line 111:79 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'hyper-dense'.
List Caps
warning

"Eovist/Primovist is often useful for detection and confirmation of metastatic disease"

Line 80:11 · In general, we don't start a list item with a capital letter. Exceptions are proper nouns.
Acronyms
warning

"hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC): hypervascular, more often solitary, possible hypoechoic US halo, cirrhotic liver, vascular invasion"

Line 112:103 · 'US' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"cystic, calcified, infiltrative and echogenic appearances are all possible: see liver metastases ultrasound appearances"

Line 56:16 · Use the Oxford comma in 'calcified, infiltrative and echogenic'.

"number, size and location (using the Couinaud classification) of tumour(s)"

Line 90:8 · Use the Oxford comma in 'number, size and location'.
Semicolons
suggestion

"Liver metastases are typically hypoattenuating on unenhanced CT, enhancing less than surrounding liver following contrast 1. If there is concomitant hepatic steatosis, then the lesions may be iso- or even slightly hyperattenuating. Enhancement is typically peripheral, and although there may be central filling in on portal venous phase, the delayed phase will show washout; helpful in distinguishing a metastasis from a haemangioma 1."

Line 61:388 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"larger lesions (>1.5 cm) tend to show transient rim enhancement (i.e. with washout); helpful feature in distinguishing a metastasis from a liver haemangioma"

Line 73:91 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"multiple hepatic cysts: no enhancement or mural nodules; can be hyper-dense/intense due to blood or infection"

Line 111:70 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"multifocal fatty infiltration/focal fatty sparing: periligamentous, perivascular distribution; MRI in-out phase signal changes, vessels course through "lesions"; no mass effect"

Line 122:115 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"multifocal fatty infiltration/focal fatty sparing: periligamentous, perivascular distribution; MRI in-out phase signal changes, vessels course through "lesions"; no mass effect"

Line 122:182 · Use semicolons judiciously.
