Magnetic resonance imaging protocols for ankle and their characteristics.

Imaging orientation	Imaging technique	Repetition time (TR) in ms	Echo time (TE) in ms	Slice thickness (ST) in mm	Field of view (FOV) in mm
Sagittal	T1-weighted TSE	609	12	3.5	165
Sagittal	STIR TSE	3090	42	3.5	170
Coronal	PD-weighted TSE	2560	34	3	170
Axial	T2-weighted TSE	3350	88	3.5	140
Axial	PD-weighted TSE	4300	66	3.5	160

FOV = field of view, PDW = proton density weighted, ST = thickness of slice, STIR = short-tau inversion recovery, TE = echo time, TR = repetition time, TSE = turbo spin-echo.
