Introduction to the CT Page

• The page name should be "(Disease name) CT", with only the first letter of the title and the letters "CT" capitalized.
• Goal: To provide a description and examples the CT findings that might be seen with the disease you are describing.
• As with all microchapter pages linking to the main page, at the top of the edit box put {{CMG}}, your name template, and the microchapter navigation template you created at the beginning.
• Remember to create links within Wikidoc by placing [[square brackets]] around key words which you want to link to other pages. Make sure you makes your links as specific as possible. For example if a sentence contained the phrase anterior spinal artery syndrome, the link should be to anterior spinal artery syndrome not anterior or artery or syndrome.
