| Parameter | FOV (max) | Slice (max) | TE | TR | Matrix (min) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cor STIR (whole pelvis) | 38-40 cm | 6 mm | 40-60 | 1800 | 256 × 256 |
| Cor T1 | 16 cm | 3.5 mm | min | 400 | 256 × 256 |
| Cor PD/T2 FS | 16 cm | 3.5 mm | 40-100 | 2000 | 256 × 256 |
| Sag PD/T2 FS | 16 cm | 3.5 mm | 40-60 | 2000 | 256 × 256 |
| Ax-oblique PD FS | 16 cm | 3.5 mm | 40-60 | 2000 | 256 × 256 |
FOV – field of view, FS – fat-saturated, STIR – short-tau inversion recovery, PD – proton density
