Adjectival Hyphens
error

"RF overflow artifact causes a nonuniform, washed-out appearance to an image. This artifact occurs when the signal received by the scanner from the patient is too intense to be accurately digitised by the analogue-to-digital converter. Autoprescanning usually adjusts the receiver gain to prevent this from occurring but if the artifact still occurs, the receiver gain can be decreased manually 1. Post-processing methods also exist but may be time-consuming 2."

Line 1:429 · 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-processing'.
