"limits of conventional MRI technique: it is less sensitive to the associated diffuse damage in normal-appearing white matter.5 In fact, normal-appearing white matter in post-mortem studies of patients with MS - despite retaining myelin - often exhibits chronic injury.6 Advanced MRI techniques such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has shown promise as more specific."

Line 94:185 · 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: 'post-mortem'.
