warning

"MRI is the investigation of choice for assessment of intracranial schwannomas, not only due to greater contrast resolution but also exquisite anatomical details, which allows for precise localisation of the tumour. This is particularly the case with high-resolution T2 sequences (e.g. FIESTA, CISS, SPACE)."

Line 38:303 · 'SPACE' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"T2* (GE / SWI): haemosiderin staining may be encountered, particularly in larger tumours ²"

Line 63:21 · 'GE' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

Inline EG

suggestion

Line 38:283 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

Line 67:83 · Use the Oxford comma in 'tumour, size and patient'.
