When No disease or other condition should be mentioned without realistic clues for reaching it. Thus, when linking to a condition from the previous level in the sequence, it must not be done by including it in a plain list of causes. Rather, it must be integrated so that it is clear ''how'' it is different from other conditions. It can be done in prose (such as at [[CT_urography#Further_evaluation_of_suspected_tumors|Evaluation of suspected bladder tumors]] where for example a lack of enhancement indicates hematoma), and/or a table such as this example of how to include [[Angiomyolipoma]] in the article [[CT of renal mass]]:
{{Nutshell|
*Use [[#References|references]] where available., with in-line citations
*Add your real name at the top if having [[#Authorship|made significant contributions]]
*New articles '''must''' be [[#Inter-article structure|linked from the main page]] in a sequence that a radiologist would be likely to follow.
==="Edit" or "Edit source"===
When clicking "Edit", you use an editor ([https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor VisualEditor]) that is "What You See Is What You Get". When you click "Edit source", you edit in wikitext. It is preferable that you'll get used to using wikitext, such as by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext Wikipedia help:Wikitext]. Use [[Radlines:Upload]] for file uploads rather than the Insert > Media in VisualEditor (the latter is not tailored to the project, but please leave a message at the discussion page if you have a solution).
===Recommended approach===
Just start editing, taking the style to look similar to any relatively well developed article such as [[X-ray of hip dysplasia]]. If you do not know the tool or wiki code for what you want to do, just do something that makes it look as similar as possible, such as:
*Headers using UPPER CASE LETTERS
*Reference numbering using brackets, such as [1] in the text, and simply drop the PMID, DOI or web address of the source at the bottom (accurate formatting can be fixed later).
==User page==
When editing under one's real name, it is also acceptable to use a hospital as a reference for local practices, as for example in [[X-ray of knee prosthesis#Reporting]].
Use only in-line referencing,<refgroup="notes">Never just add a citation at the bottom of the article, even if it reflects all current content, since verification will be extremely difficult following future content additions</ref> using the "Cite" tab in [[#"Edit" or "Edit source"|"Edit" mode]], and <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></ref></nowiki></code> in [[#"Edit" or "Edit source"|"Edit source" mode]] (see [[Wikipedia:Help:Footnotes#Footnotes:_the_basics|Wikipedia:Footnotes]] for additional help). With a known doi code for the reference, [https://reftag.appspot.com/doiweb.py the {T} DOI reference generator] can quickly generate the full citation. Likewise, [http://sumsearch.org/cite/ the Biomedical citation maker] can be used to generate full citations from PMID or PMCID.
==Geographic origin==
===Coding===
In wiki code, it is recommended to add references by within <nowiki><ref> and </ref></nowiki> tags, in addition to adding the {{tl|Top}} and {{tl|Bottom}} templates to their respective places. Such <nowiki><ref></nowiki> tags can be automatically generated from the doi codesat this site:*[https://reftag.appspot.com/doiweb.py {T} DOI Wikipedia reference generator]*Likewise, PMID or PMCID of articles can be used at this site:
*[http://sumsearch.org/cite/ http://sumsearch.org/cite/]
For example, entering 10.1038/438900a at that the former page yields the following text:
*<nowiki><ref name="pmid16355180">{{cite journal| author=Giles J| title=Internet encyclopaedias go head to head. | journal=Nature | year= 2005 | volume= 438 | issue= 7070 | pages= 900-1 | pmid=16355180 | doi=10.1038/438900a | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=16355180 }} </ref></nowiki>
When inserted in an article, it gives the following at the bottom:
The creator of a new article must link the article back through a likely sequence that a radiologist would find that condition when seeing it. Articles lacking an unbroken connection to the main page should be tagged with {{Template|Orphan}}, and should be either connected to a sequence or deleted (if the author has been notified of this intention but hasn't made amendments in over two weeks).
Structuring into these levels require more extensive work for more systemic diseases. [[Arthritis]], for example, must be added included in the articles of multiple joints. It is the responsibility of the creator of such a disease article to add it to all locations where it is well known to be relevant. It may therefore be more simple to start with for example [[X-ray of arthritis of the hand]], which only needs linking from [[X-ray of the hand]].
An author wanting to upload a case must therefore make sure that there is at least a short article about the condition in general, for example a general article about [[angiomyolipoma]] (or CT or other specified modality of angiomyolipoma) when wanting to upload images of an unusual presentation of it.

:As the list becomes larger, with over 5-10 entries, only the most common or otherwise significant ones should remain in the article, and the rest be moved to anatomic sub-regions or be linked from a separate category page.
*'''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 handin a normal case. It is recommended to also insert the [[#Templates|template]] {{tl|Reporting}} in the section, preferably at the bottom of it but possibly also below the section header in order to . This inserts a link to general notes about reporting. It does ''not'' need Any example report can be followed by the template {{tl|Public Domain example}} to allow for copying in clinical practice without needing to mention "additional findings upon image evaluation" or similarattribute the article author, such as seen in [[Ultrasonography of the abdomen and pelvis#General screening]].
==Modality-unspecific disease or presentation articles==
*'''Introduction''', including a definition of the condition, and/or links to parent articles where available. For example, the introduction in the article ''[[X-ray of hip prostheses]]'' can start as ''"For '''[[X-ray of the hip joint]]''' in the presence of a prosthesis..."''.
*'''Planning'''. Possible content includes:
:*'''Choice of modality''', discussing alternative describing when to use available modalities(and not just ''"modalities may include:"'' or similar). This subsection should be written as a template (see [[#Templates]] section below) that can be displayed in modality-unspecific 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]]. Include the "Choice of modality" header in the template. Thereby, these templates are editable by clicking the ''edit'' button by that header.
:*'''How soon''' the investigation should be done
:*What '''settings''' or '''sequences''' of for example MRI or CT are recommended
:It is also recommended to link to general screening in CT and MRI for the location at hand, such as [[CT in dementia]] linking to [[CT_of_the_head#Basic_screening|Basic screening of head CT]].
:*'''Further evaluation''', with important concomitant findings when the disease is known, such as staging of cancers.
*'''Report''', preferably including at least one example of a report with typical findings of a disease ([[X-ray of knee prosthesis#Report|Example]]), as well as one report including the most important absences of findings when the disease is important to rule out. It is recommended to also insert the [[#Templates|template]] {{tl|Reporting}} in the section, preferably at the bottom of it but possibly also below the section header in order to . This inserts a link to general notes about reporting. Different levels of comprehensiveness is preferable, such as at [[X-ray of hip prostheses#Report]]. Any example report can be followed by the template {{tl|Public Domain example}} to allow for copying in clinical practice without needing to attribute the article author.
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.
*Templating, as described in the [[#Templates]] section below. For this purpose, the steps include:
**Giving the template a title, for example: ''26 year old woman with ectopic pregnancy, description''
**Write the case description on the template page. On the template page, tt it is also recommended to list all images that belong to the case.
**Press save, and implement the template in each related image.
