warning

"Radiographs are useful as an overview but are insensitive to small lytic lesions and struggle to assess for compromise of the canal. As metastases have a predilection for involving the posterior vertebral body and pedicle, a missing pedicle (see: absent pedicle sign) is a useful and subtle sign to seek on AP films."

Line 49:318 · 'AP' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

Semicolons

suggestion

"This article will focus only on the metastasis involving the bony structures of the spine (ie the vertebrae); please refer to the specific articles for other spinal metastatic diseases:"

Line 2:112 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Inline EG

suggestion

"Vertebral lesions are very frequently asymptomatic in the setting of widespread metastatic disease and are thus often found incidentally when imaging is performed for other reasons (e.g. staging)."

Line 10:185 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
