as well as plural? I left a note on a report that I had changed "foci" to "focus" when he was clearly stating there was ONE focus of enhancement on an exam, and he just dictated one where he specifies "there is a foci - F - O - C - I - of echogenicity..." on an ultrasound.

that's what they're asking about, as most of us make typos when we're just posting to one of the boards here, looking for a quick answer .... :-) But, just wanted to give you a heads-up that a few things might have needed a second look there. That kind of thing becomes second nature after a while, but it's worth spending the extra time on it when you're starting out.

Would you put "dual isotope stress test" or "dual-isotope stress test"?  I keep wanting to hyphenate "dual isotope" with the thought that it is acting as an adjective decribing the stress test, but every example I can find leaves it unhyphenated.  For whatever reason, my thick head can't come up with the rationale.  HELP!  I transcribe for a cardiology practice, so it's kind of important, LOL!


Thanks!

An" goes before all words that begin with vowels:

  • an apricot

with two exceptions: When u makes the same sound as the y in you, or o makes the same sound as w in won, then a is used.

  • a used napkin
  • a U.S. ship
