THIGH (QUADRICEPS) MRI Protocol


THIGH (QUADRICEPS) - ACUTE INJURY
ROUTINE PROTOCOL

Check with patient re: site of tear and mark with oil capsule(s) if appropriate. Area of interest will be anterior, so always use a surface coil/body matrix coil over this area for extra signal. 
  • Axial and Long Axis localisers (find oil capsule)
  • STIR/T2FS Coronal - to include tear site + 1 muscle insertion (closest)
  • STIR/T2 FS Sagittal - to cover tear site + 1 muscle insertion (closest)
  • STIR/T2 FS Axial - cover just tear (if appropriate) or oil capsule (if no tear seen)
  • T1 Sagittal (copied exactly to STIR/T2FS Sagittal)
  • T1 Axial (copied exactly to STIR/T2FS Axial)
