"Sequences"

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

Commas

suggestion

"MRI protocol for assessing the posterior fossa, including the cerebellopontine angle, is a group of basic MRI sequences put together to best approach lesions involving the brainstem, cranial nerves (CN III to CN XII), cerebellum and CSF spaces (fourth ventricle, cisterna magna, prepontine cistern, and CPA cisterns)."

Line 1:84 · More than 5 commas in a single sentence might make it more difficult to read.

Inline EG

suggestion

"sequence: axial with ultra thin slices (e.g. DRIVE, RESTOREm FRFSE)"

Line 14:61 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

"T2* with ultra thin slices (e.g. 3D CISS, FIESTA, FFE)"

Line 15:45 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.

MRI Vendor Sequences

suggestion

"sequence: axial with ultra thin slices (e.g. DRIVE, RESTOREm FRFSE)"

Line 14:67 · 'DRIVE' is an MRI-manufacturer-specific sequence, try to avoid using these.
