Magic angle artefact. Peroneus brevis tendon (arrow) appears with increased intensity on a T1 weighted image (a) as it approaches an angle of 55° to the external magnetic field, which is perpendicular to the plane of the image. The T2 weighted image (b), with its longer echo time, shows the tendon with normal, low signal intensity.
