Standard article structure
Updates to Article Attributes
Standard article structure is important on Radiopaedia.org so that we have a consistent article structure and maintain uniformity across the whole site.
Standard sections
The standard medium to longA typical article structure, after deciding onshould have an article title, is and then is broken down into a set of standard sections, although, not every article has each and every section. The order of sections is, however, fixed. In other words, "Clinical presentation" always presented in this order:comes before "Radiographic features" even if there is no need for a "Pathology" section.
All of these sections should have a Heading 4 style chosen from the editing toolbar. The one exception is the introduction, which is "normal" text.
