Sentence examples for coronal sequences from inspiring English sources

Coronal sequences are quicker to perform in the prone position, as there is a thinner volume of tissue to image.

For MR diagnosis, in our experience the axial sequence is more sensitive and specific than coronal sequences, where apparent ligament thickening is often due to volume averaging.

It has been shown that even imaging with straight coronal sequences with possibly slightly thicker slices allows for reliable diagnosis of sacroiliitis [49].

Additional scans from the SI joint centers included coronal T1-weighted turbo spin-echo and STIR sequences angled parallel to the SI joint, and a transverse STIR sequence perpendicular to the coronal sequences.

High-contrast images parameter can vary but some guidelines can be drawn (sagittal sequences, 3.0-mm section thickness, FOV 143 × 180 mm and matrix 204 × 512 pixels; coronal sequences, 3.0-mm section thickness, FOV 200 × 200 mm and matrix 204 × 512 pixels; axial 3.0-mm section thickness, FOV 180 × 162 mm and matrix 187 × 512 pixels).

Check, preferably in the coronal sequence, if the pathways reach or surpass the levator ani muscle.
