"MRI is not indicated for emergent evaluation of low-flow priapism due to the time it takes for the scan. It may be used in the non-emergent setting for problem-solving ^ref. MRI may be more likely to see associated conditions that may lead to priapism (e.g. malignancy)."

Semicolons

suggestion

"For non-ischaemic priapism unresponsive to conservative treatment (focal compression and/or ice application); in refractory cases endovascular embolisation is the first-line treatment ⁶."

Line 120:112 · Use semicolons judiciously.
