"CT "

Line 18:1 · Never put spaces at either end of headings.

Adjectival Hyphens

error

"When an abscess is present, it is seen as a rim-enhancing, unilocular or multilocular, hypodensity in the peripheral zone. Central zone involvement is encountered in status post-transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) patients. The infection can extend through the capsule into the periprostatic tissues, seminal vesicles, and peritoneum."

Line 20:177 · 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-'.

Strong List Colon Position

error

"T1: peripheral zone iso- or hypointense to transition zone"

Line 26:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'T1: peripheral'

"T2: hypointense"

Line 27:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'T2: hypointense'

"T1 C+ (Gd): diffusely enhancing"

Line 28:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'T1 C+ (Gd): diffusely'

"DWI: shows restricted diffusion with low ADC values; a study showed that a value ≥900mm²/s can be used to differentiate prostatitis from prostate cancer ⁸"

Line 29:8 · When enboldening an intro, the colon should not be bold. 'DWI: shows'

Units

error

"DWI: shows restricted diffusion with low ADC values; a study showed that a value ≥900mm²/s can be used to differentiate prostatitis from prostate cancer ⁸"

Line 29:107 · Put a space between the number and the unit in '900mm'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"When an abscess is present, it is seen as a rim-enhancing, unilocular or multilocular, hypodensity in the peripheral zone. Central zone involvement is encountered in status post-transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) patients. The infection can extend through the capsule into the periprostatic tissues, seminal vesicles, and peritoneum."

Line 20:52 · Use the Oxford comma in 'enhancing, unilocular or multilocular'.

"Antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment for bacterial prostatitis. In cases of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, diuretics and anti-inflammatory medications may be needed instead."

Line 32:107 · Use the Oxford comma in 'prostatitis, diuretics and anti'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"DWI: shows restricted diffusion with low ADC values; a study showed that a value ≥900mm²/s can be used to differentiate prostatitis from prostate cancer ⁸"

Line 29:76 · Use semicolons judiciously.
