Article GA promotion new enough, and article long enough with full citations and neutral tone to prose. no copyvios or close paraphrasing detected in the writing, with 3 word groupings detected by earwig coming from specific terminology names and descriptors. I feel Alt0 is the strongest hook but I would suggest swapping radiography with x-rays.--Kevmin § 19:49, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
