→Modality-unspecific disease articles: +Templating
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.
==Modality-unspecific disease or presentation articles==ExampleExamples: [[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.
:*'''ModalityChoice of investigation''' or , with preferable modalities of choice, and when their main factors to choose which oneconsider in the choice.
:*'''How soon''' the investigation should be done.
Other aspects of the disease should generally be added at linked modality-specific articles.
Preferably, the section should be written as a template that can be displayed in the modality-specific articles as well, such as [[Template:Neck trauma - choice of investigation]], which is shown both in [[Neck trauma]] and [[CT of the neck in trauma]].
