Orientation of the sagittal acquisitions. Anatomical coverage on sagittal 2D and 3D acquisitions should include the tibial tubercle, the entire patella and as much of the suprapatellar bursa as possible (A) Sagittal acquisitions are prescribed orthogonal to the coronal acquisitions and sagittal to the joint, with the slice axis parallel to the long axis of the femoral diaphysis on the coronal localizer (B) and perpendicular to a line tangent to the posterior cortices of the femoral condyles on the axial localizer (C).
