Summary articles are short articles that summarize the content of our more complete reference articles. They are really useful for getting an overview of a topic and particularly useful for medical students or allied health professionals. You may want to see our medical student curricula here.
They aim to summarize the main non-radiological points and give a basic level of information about radiographic features.
The title of the article should follow our normal rules except that it will be followed by "(summary)", e.g.
