Magnetic resonance images can be acquired with equal clarity in any orientation: sagittal, coronal, or oblique as well as transaxial [2].2. The range of image contrast for this technique is broader and more continuous than the range for radiographic techniques. Tissue borders are seen more sharply, giving better anatomic definition [2].3. With MR imaging, patients are not exposed to ionizing radiation. This...Reference1. SCHWARTZBALLMOSER JJR.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
