Thank you for the points. I haven't learned yet to select the recent Not For Points feature -- among other things -- and apologize for appearing 'opportunistic' :D with my response. Happy Holidays, everyone! Tom

: If the question were "farbe", and you answered "color", for me to come in and answer "colour" (rather than posting a peer agree with the alternative spelling) would be rightly considered opportunistic.

: You are right in that this spelling is much more common - I checked both variants in site:.edu and English .... however I follow James' opinion, a simple agree plus correction of the spelling would have done IMO.

: Definitely hyphenated.//Pubmed, Clubmed! "Radioopaque" is not too bad, but looks weird. Two words is a definite no-no. Check any good style manual for details.

218 abstracts in pubmed can't be wrong. Or can they?;-)//I'm just buying some insurance against the guys who come in and put in/remove a hyphen, pluralise it etc...

: >>radiopaque<< is the common way to spell it; >>opaque to x-rays<< for a lay audience.

Damn. I always forget to insure against the guys who point out that US English ain't UK English. Sadly I only speak one of the two. OED says radio-opaque.
