warning

"Note: This article aims to frame a general concept of an MRI protocol for the assessment of the shoulder joint. Protocol specifics will vary depending on MRI scanner type, specific hardware and software, radiologist and perhaps referrer preference, patient factors e.g. implants, specific indications and time constraints"

Line 2:4 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: '<em>Note: This article aims to frame a general concept of an MRI protocol for the assessment of the shoulder joint. Protocol specifics will vary depending on MRI scanner type, specific hardware and software, radiologist and perhaps referrer preference, patient factors e.g. implants, specific indications and time constraints</em>'

Line 2:273 · An e.g. list gives selected examples, so it should not end with 'and' or 'or': 'e.g. implants, specific indications and'.

"in suspected nerve compression syndromes e.g. Parsonage-Turner syndrome the coronal and axial image stacks might need an increased field of view, and the sagittal stack might need to be increased"

warning

"1.5 vs 3 tesla"

Line 15:5 · '1.5 vs 3 tesla' should use sentence-style capitalization.

"MR arthrography"

Line 110:5 · 'MR arthrography' should use sentence-style capitalization.

Unit Capitalisation

warning

"Musculoskeletal examinations are generally done on both 1.5 and 3 tesla. Shoulder MRIs profit from the improved spatial and contrast resolution of 3 tesla ^1,2. Postoperative examinations in patients with metallic implants, however, should be done on 1.5 Tesla with metal artifact reduction sequence ¹."

Line 16:265 · Unit names are lowercase in full, and the litre takes a capital L: '1.5 Tesla'.
