"Modality is the term used in radiology to refer to one form of imaging, such as CT. It is often used in the plural, e.g., "various modalities can be employed to evaluate this liver lesion.""

Line 1:143 · Commas and periods go outside quotation marks (in nearly all circumstances).

"Imaging modalities"

Line 3:1 · "Imaging modalities" is not a recognised heading for this article type.

"Describing findings"

Line 18:1 · "Describing findings" is not a recognised heading for this article type.
Commas
suggestion

"NB As per the Radiopaedia style guide, when two modalities are combined, such as PET and CT, the two modalities are separated by a single dash only, i.e. PET-CT, PET-MRI, etc. We ask contributors not to use any format other than this one."

Line 17:48 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.
Oxford Comma
suggestion

"plain radiography and fluoroscopy: opacity and lucency, described as radiopaque, lucent or radiolucent"

Line 21:111 · Use the Oxford comma in 'radiopaque, lucent or radiolucent'.

"CT: attenuation, described as hyperattenuating, hypoattenuating or isoattenuating, with measured values in Hounsfield units"

Line 23:51 · Use the Oxford comma in 'hyperattenuating, hypoattenuating or isoattenuating'.

"MRI: signal intensity, described as hyperintense, hypointense or isointense, always paired with the sequence, e.g. T2 hyperintense"

Line 30:57 · Use the Oxford comma in 'hyperintense, hypointense or isointense'.

"ultrasound: echogenicity, described as hyperechoic, hypoechoic, isoechoic or anechoic"

Line 33:77 · Use the Oxford comma in 'hypoechoic, isoechoic or anechoic'.
