MR FOOT - TOE 

An MRI Foot is generally a forefoot that includes some of the mid-foot and extends to the toes. 

​SAGITTAL  

CORONAL (aka long axis axial)

AXIAL (aka short axis axial)

​FOV: 16x16
Matrix: 256x224
Slice Thickness: 3.5/0.5

​ROUTINE

​■   Sag T1, Sag T2 FS (or STIR)
■   Cor T1, Cor T2 FS
■   Ax T1, Ax T2 FS

MASS - INFECTION - ARTHRITIS

​Place marker over area of interest when applicable.
■   PRECONTRAST
    ■   Ax (short axis axial) T1, T2 FS (If there is a MASS - add an Axial T1 FS)
    ■   Cor (long axis axial) T1, T2 FS
    ■   Sag T1, STIR (or T2 FS)
■   POSTCONTRAST
    ■   Ax (short axis axial) T1 FS
    ■   Cor (long axis axial) T1 FS
    ■   Sag T1 FS

When imaging a toe specifically:
■   Three planes are performed relative to the joint in question, NOT the MRI table.
