Adjectival Hyphens

error

"Past papers are available from the RANZCR website. The links below contain playlists with cases highlighting related gross and variant anatomy on a variety of modalities with relevant pre-reading for each past paper. Note that the examination format has since changed however the depth of knowledge required will remain similar."

Line 42:202 · 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: 'pre-reading'.

"Labelling questions are assessed on digital images, which can be of any clinical imaging modality including plain radiograph, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, angiography, and MRI. The images can also be shown in various planes, e.g. axial, sagittal, coronal, etc. Six labels will be present on a single image. It is important to be as specific with your answers as possible (as if you are reporting the location of a minuscule lesion at the tip of the labelling arrow), e.g. writing "middle turn of the left cochlea" instead of simply "cochlea". A list of practice labelled imaging anatomy cases can be found here."

Inline EG
