Semicolons

"DICOM: lossless, an original image format that is the standard for storing and transmitting medical images; uploading DICOM images to Radiopaedia directly (with full client-side anonymisation) is available and is ideal as it will future-proof your case"

"JPG: small size but degraded by compression; use quality of 80 or above to minimise image degradation"

Line 23:68 · Use semicolons judiciously.
