Lint: rectosigmoid-ratio

Adjectival Hyphens
error

"It should be noted that involvement of the sigmoid colon may result in a falsely normal rectosigmoid ratio, thereby limiting its diagnostic utility. It is therefore beneficial and recommended to always evaluate for the presence of a transition zone on both contrast-filling and post-evacuation images."

Line 4:282 · 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-evacuation'.
