==Modality-unspecific disease or presentation articles==
Examples: [[Urolithiasis]], [[Neck trauma]]
These articles should focus on the planning of the investigation, such as by the following layout:
*'''Planning''', which assumes that there is a referral specifically asking for an investigation of the subject at hand. Recommended subsections include:
:*'''Justification''' of the investigation, such as symptoms raising the suspicion of the condition.
:*'''Choice of modality''', with preferable modalities and their main factors to consider in the choice.
:*'''How soon''' the investigation should be done.
The title should generally not be in plural.
Other aspects of the disease should generally be added at linked modality-specific articles.
Preferably, the section should be written as a template (see [[#Templates]] section below) that can be displayed in the modality-specific articles as well, such as [[Template:Neck trauma - choice of modality]], which is shown both in [[Neck trauma]] and [[CT of the neck in trauma]].
Order
*'''Techniques''', with subtypes of the topic at hand, such as [[CT of the thorax]] having a section on CT [[angiography]] of the region.
*'''Report''', containing at least a report on a basic screening of the investigation at hand. It is recommended to also insert the [[#Templates|template]] {{tl|Reporting}} below the header in order to link to general notes about reporting. It does ''not'' need to mention "additional findings upon image evaluation" or similar.

==Modality-specific disease articles==
Disease articles can have a short introduction with one or two sentences about pathophysiology, and likewise for symptoms, prognosis and general treatment. Otherwise, these aspects should only be included where relevant in the radiologic differential diagnosis. These aspects are not necessary if the differential diagnosis can be made by visible radiologic findings alone.
