Oxford Comma
suggestion

"patient is then rotated so that the arm on the affected side has the shoulder, arm and elbow in contact with the upright bucky"

Line 9:74 · Use the Oxford comma in 'shoulder, arm and elbow'.

"Preparing the room beforehand (setting up the detector, exposure and preparing lead gowns) is extremely beneficial for humerus imaging. As young children may already favour having their affected arm close to their body, gentle coaxing to place their hand on their stomach and slowly abducting their arm should assist in achieving the desired position."

Line 56:50 · Use the Oxford comma in 'detector, exposure and preparing'.
