Oxford Comma

suggestion

"trisomies 13, 18 and 21"

Line 44:21 · Use the Oxford comma in '13, 18 and 21'.

"cystic contents: usually anechoic; hyperechoic if contain debris, high lipid concentration, infection or haemorrhage"

Line 70:85 · Use the Oxford comma in 'concentration, infection or haemorrhage'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"cystic contents: usually anechoic; hyperechoic if contain debris, high lipid concentration, infection or haemorrhage"

Line 70:41 · Use semicolons judiciously.

There Is

suggestion

"Most lymphatic malformations appear homogeneous and cystic on CT, but some appear inhomogeneous because of the presence of proteinaceous, fluid, blood, or fat components within the lesion. It is rare for CT to demonstrate intrinsic septations. There is only minimal or no displacement/compression of adjacent structures."

Line 75:248 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.
