"The bowel wall signal intensity (WSI) is measured on T1-weighted (e.g., VIBE sequences). Three pre- and post-contrast measurements should be performed, and the regions of interest (ROIs) should be positioned in identical locations pre- and post-contrast."

Line 12:99 · 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: 'pre-'.
