"When referring to an eponymous individual for the first time, we embolden the name. This is one of the few instances when we like text to be bold on Radiopaedia. Otherwise we discourage the routine emboldening of names, and if you are unsure it is safer not to. A common example, are names of individuals stated in the text, who have written a specific article, for example 'John Smith et al.'. Here the name is not emboldened unless that person gave their name to the title of the article, or a synonym of the title."
