Proposed MRI-protocol for evaluation of the Charcot foot with four sequences: sagittal STIR, 3 mm, whole foot (a); sagittal T1, 3 mm, whole foot (b); transverse T1, 3 mm, hindfoot including Lisfranc’s joints (c); coronal T2, 3 mm, hindfoot including Lisfranc’s joints (d). Additional contrast media application is optional for patients with suspected infection/osteomyelitis: sagittal T1 fs 3 mm post contrast and axial T1 fs 3 mm post contrast. Note: Of course, the protocol should be extended and adapted in cases of non-Charcot-related complications, that require better spatial resolutions: e.g., additional sequences with smaller field of view, when infection at the distal toes in a diabetic foot is suspected
