Semicolons

suggestion

"the fetus must be in the midsagittal imaging plane (the vertebral column should be facing the bottom of the screen); the following structures must be seen to confirm the correct mid-sagittal position:"

Line 36:119 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"the fetus should be floating free of the uterine wall i.e. amniotic fluid should be seen between its back and the uterus; this is to not mistakenly measure the distance to the amniotic membrane or uterine wall"
