"T1: iso/low signal"

Line 23:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T1:</strong> iso'

"DWI: diffusion restriction with high signal on DWI and low ADC values."

Line 24:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>DWI:</strong> diffusion'

"T1 C+ (Gd): no enhancement"

Line 25:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. '<strong>T1 C+ (Gd):</strong> no'

error

"DWI: diffusion restriction with high signal on DWI and low ADC values."

Line 24:88 · Do not put full stops at the end of a list item.
Strong
warning

"splenium of corpus callosum high signal intensity (MERS type 1)"

Line 9:59 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>MERS type 1</strong>'

"diffuse involvement of the corpus callosum and bilateral symmetrical white matter/centrum semiovale lesions of high signal (MERS type 2)"

Line 10:132 · Generally, don't use bold in text: '<strong>MERS type 2</strong>'
Prefix Hyphens
warning

"The exact pathophysiology of MERS is unknown but various mechanisms have been proposed. Intra-myelinic oedema, and interstitial oedema in tightly packed fibres, a transient inflammatory infiltrate, vascular redistribution, arginine vasopressin suppression. Hypotonic hyponatraemia could lead to the entry of water into the brain, causing the transient diffusion restriction seen on MRI 1,2."

Line 17:92 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'Intra-myelinic'.
Acronyms
warning

"demyelinating disease (e.g. ADEM)"

Line 32:39 · 'ADEM' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
