Forefoot

 

Text Box: use 2nd metatarsal as a reference in prescribing the axial T2 sequence

 

 

1. Obtain three-plain scannogram

2. Prescribe coronal (or short axis or "cucumber slices") T1 and T2. Some scanners name this sequence "axial." However, although it is trans-axial to the foot, it is really coronal to the body.

3. Prescribe axial T2 non-fs at the level of the MTP joints as  white line above.

4. Sagittal T1 and IR should be prescribed as yellow line above.
