Check with patient re: site of tear and mark with oil capsule(s) if appropriate. The area of interest here will be posterior, therefore use of a spine coil is essential. Combine this with a surface coil or, preferably a peripheral angio coil for optimal image quality.

- STIR/T2 FS Sagittal (Blue Lines on images) - to cover tear site + 1 muscle insertion (closest)
- STIR/T2 FS Axial (Green Lines on images) - cover just tear (if appropriate) or oil capsule (if no tear seen)
