Capitalization
Capitalization is a potential area where style differences can make a significant difference to the content at Radiopaedia.org, and as usual, a consistent style is crucial for uniformity of the site.
On this page:
Titles and subheadings
Article titles and case titles, as well as subheadings, should be in sentence case.
Correct:
- Myeloma with extraskeletal involvement
- Hepatocellular carcinoma
- Skull
Incorrect:
- myeloma with extraskeletal involvement
- MYELOMA WITH EXTRASKELETAL INVOLVEMENT
- Myeloma With Extra Skeletal Involvement
Bulleted and numbered lists
Bulleted and numbered lists should not be capitalised unless the term deserves a capital on its own account (e.g. name of someone). Read more about bulleted and numbered lists.
Abbreviations
The use of capitals in abbreviations depends on the specific abbreviation. Read more about accepted abbreviations.
