Sentence case is a writing style where only the first letter of the first word in a sentence is capitalised, along with any proper nouns (names of people, places, etc.). Read more about capitalisation.
Here's a simple guide on how to use sentence case in Radiopaedia:
Sentence structure
Begin each sentence with a capital letter. This includes the first word of the article/case, as well as the first word after a period, question mark, exclamation point, or other punctuation that ends a sentence.
Proper nouns
Capitalise proper nouns (e.g. names, places) and maintain consistent capitalisation throughout your contributions to ensure a professional and polished appearance for the content you submit.
Lowercase everything else
Keep all other words in lowercase, including articles (e.g., a, an, the), conjunctions (e.g., and, but, or), and prepositions (e.g., in, on, at).
Article and case titles
Please note that in Radiopaedia, article and case titles, as well as subheadings, should also be in sentence case but without terminal punctuation.
Bullet points
Please note that bullet points are treated as “sentence fragments” and sentence case should not be used. Please see the bullet case style guide article for more details.
Examples
Below are examples of the correct use of sentence case:
"Reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) is an airway inflammatory condition often defined as the sudden onset of asthma-like symptoms following high-level exposure to an agent such as corrosive gas, vapour, or fumes. Some publications suggest this a subset or variant of asthma."
“Botulism is a neuroparalytic syndrome manifesting as diffuse generalised flaccid paralysis caused by exposure to botulinum neurotoxin.”
