From: Diagnosis of ACL and meniscal injuries: MR imaging of knee flexion versus extension compared to arthroscopy

Knie position	Sequence	Orientation	Slices	TR (msec)	TE (msec)	T/G (mm)	FOV (cm)	Matrix	Scan time
Extension (0°)	TSE FS-PD	axial	28	2900	20	3/1	19	256x224	3:52
	TSE FS-PD	coronal	28	2900	20	3/1	19	256x224	3:52
	T1-SE	sagittal	28	650	20	3/1	19	256x224	2:37
	TSE FS-PD	sagittal	28	2900	20	3/1	19	256x224	3:52
30° Flexion	TSE FS-PD	sagittal	28	2900	20	3/1	19	256x224	3:52
55° Flexion	TSE FS-PD	sagittal	28	2900	20	3/1	19	256x224	3:52

Note.- FA = flip angle, G = intersection gap, NA = not applicable, NSA = number of signals acquired, PD = proton density-weighted, T = section thickness, TE = echo time, TR = repetition time, T 1 = T1-weighted, T2 = T2-weighted.
