Colons are of often used to denote the start of a list, but can also be used within a list to separate a term and its descriptor. Colon use at Radiopaedia.org follows standard English style with no space preceding the colon and a space after it.
Examples of colon use include:
- disc level: confined to between the vertebral endplates
-
T1
- fluid: hypointense
- fat: hyperintense
-
T2: fluid appears hyperintense
- haemorrhage: variable signal intensity depending on age of blood
Note: colons are not to be used within a bullet list when there is no content to add in the same line (example 2 above).
