• Ax = axial• Cor = coronal• Sag = sagittal• FOV = field of view• PD = proton density• TE = time to echo in milliseconds• FS = fat suppressed• Int = intermediate• Int FS: this is a fat suppressed sequence with a long TR and a TE
between that of a traditional PD (e.g. TE= 10-20) and a traditional T2 (e.g. TE=80-100). The advantage of this sequence is that the TE is short enough to maintain sufficient signal for visualisation of the anatomy (like a PD) yet long enough to be more fluid sensitive (like a T2)
• For STIR sequence, TI (inversion time) should be 140-150 at 1.5T

• Patient feet first in prone position (less magic angle effect, less patient movement, slight plantar shift of interdigital soft tissue); dedicated coil
• Limit examination to mid- and forefoot; may include anterior talus• Foot axials (oblique): align axial plane along long axis of 1st metatarsal• Foot sagittals (oblique): align plane along long axis of the 3rd metatarsal• Straight coronal: 90° to distal tibia; oblique coronal: 90° to posterior facet
Foot (Mid- and Forefoot)
Coronals (oblique) = short axisAxials (oblique) = long axis Sagittals (oblique)
