Plane	Weighting	Mode	Slice	Gap	FAT SAT	FOV	Notes
Cor	T2	SSFSE BH	5mm	1mm	No	Top pf kidneys to pelvis.	Scan sacrum to anterior abdominal wall. CONFIRM GOOD COIL PLACEMENT. Large FOV to include kidneys. Pelvic pathology is often related to renal pathology.
Axial	T1	TSE	5mm	1mm	No	20-24mm. Fit to patient.	Scan iliac crest to perineum. Freq A-P to avoid bowel motion ghosting into uterus and bladder. If there is a pelvic mass, please scan to include the whole mass.
Axial	T2	TSE	5mm	1mm	No	20-24mm. Fit to patient.	Scan iliac crest to perineum. Same parameters as AX T1 TSE. Freq A-P to avoid bowel motion ghosting into uterus and bladder.
Sag	T2	TSE	5mm	1mm	No	24mm. Fit to patient.	Scan mid-femoral head to mid-femoral head. Freq A-P. Consider using an anterior Sat band if lots of abdominal wall motion.
