barring that, the AAMT has come out saying that "disk" is preferred over "disc" (for whatever that's worth), though both are still acceptable.
I've had some clients with a preference for "disc" with respect to the eyes, and "disk" when referring to the spine, but the vast majority (in my recent experience) have shown a preference for disk in all cases.

Always, always it's client preference. I was just speaking in a BOS/AAMT ruling about numbers. Client preference most definitely IS the bottom line.

L5 compression fracture; C5-6 herniated nucleus puposus. I have never used fifth lumbar or lumbar five. Most docs I have had always dictate as L5 or C5-6 and also some do C-spine or L-spine. easier for them, I guess, as well as whoever reads the report.

You have several choices here that are correct. You can put E:A reversal, E/A reversal, or E to A reversal. If no client preference, your pick - all are correct.

really, we cannot tell you the answer, albeit for 20 years, Webster's Merriam dictionary has it with no hypen (same with most re- words)...but it's really up to your client(s) and also the Book Of Style by the AAMT really spells it out.....somewhere in the huge nearly 600 page book........
good luck :)

For the accounts that I work on, the doctors prefer it all written out. I don't know what the BOS3 has to say about this, but it's probably one of those things that goes by what the doctor, or QA, prefers.
