Article structures

Articles are similar to a chapter in a textbook. There is a uniform structure that can be simplified or fully filled out, depending on the topic.

Standard article structure

The standard article structure is oriented toward describing a disease and its imaging findings. This helps to form a concept map of the disease or disorder. While there are many headings in the standard article structure, only the relevant ones need be included.
