Routine pulse sequences performed for assessment of the ACL

Sequence	Field of view (mm)	Slice thickness (mm)	Function
Axial T2 TSE FS	140	4, skip1	Identify fluid in tunnel, identify disruption of graft fibres
Sagittal PD TSE	140	3, skip 1	Assess collagen maturation of graft
Sagittal T2 TSE FS	140	3, skip 1	Identify fluid in tunnel, identify disruption of graft fibres
Coronal T1 SE	140	3, skip 1	Assess collagen maturation of graft, evaluate associated bone injury
Coronal T2 TSE FS	140	4, skip 2	Identify fluid in tunnel, identify disruption of graft fibres
Coronal-oblique TSE PD	120	2.5, skip 0.3	Assess collagen maturation of graft, identify disruption of graft fibres
Sagittal 3D SPACE	150	2.5, skip 0.3	High resolution, thin section images for optimal anatomic evaluation of AM and PL bundles
