Adjectival Hyphens

error

"detection of locoregional recurrence in a post-prostatectomy setting"

Line 14:50 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-prostatectomy'.

"prevention of diagnostic compromise due to post-biopsy change"

Line 27:47 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-biopsy'.

"purpose: might improve differentiation of equivocal versus likely malignant peripheral lesions, important for the evaluation of locoregional recurrence in a post-prostatectomy setting"

Line 149:165 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'post-prostatectomy'.

Acronyms

warning

"Recommendations, given in the Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) v2.1 document published by an internationally representative group involving the American College of Radiology (ACR), European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR), and AdMeTech Foundation, have been taken into consideration ^1,2."

Line 3:81 · 'PI-RADS' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"field of view (FOV): 120-200 mm for"

Line 59:23 · 'FOV' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

EG List And

warning

"Protocol specifics will vary slightly depending on the specific indication, MRI scanner type, specific hardware and software, radiologist and perhaps referrer preference, patient factors e.g. implants, and time constraints."

Line 4:191 · An e.g. list gives selected examples, so it should not end with 'and' or 'or': 'e.g. implants, and'.

Strong

warning

"A multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate combines the anatomic information from T1 and T2 weighted sequences with functional information from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE). In some situations other techniques like MR spectroscopy (MRS) have also been employed, although the latter is not widely used."

Line 6:6 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate'

"Due to the limited role of dynamic contrast enhancement in the detection of prostate cancer, some institutions acquire a biparametric MRI (bpMRI) consisting of T1 and T2-weighted images as well as diffusion-weighted images omitting contrast media ^1,2."

Line 7:125 · Generally, don't use bold in text: 'biparametric MRI (bpMRI)'

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Protocol specifics will vary slightly depending on the specific indication, MRI scanner type, specific hardware and software, radiologist and perhaps referrer preference, patient factors e.g. implants, and time constraints."

Line 4:120 · Use the Oxford comma in 'software, radiologist and perhaps'.

Line 169:67 · Use the Oxford comma in 'T2, DWI and DCE'.

Parentheses

suggestion

"A multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) of the prostate combines the anatomic information from T1 and T2 weighted sequences with functional information from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE). In some situations other techniques like MR spectroscopy (MRS) have also been employed, although the latter is not widely used."

Line 6:34 · Use parentheses judiciously. There are at least 3 sets in this paragraph.

There Is

suggestion

"There is no clear consensus regarding all aspects of patient preparation and their clinical significance."
