title: [The "de Sèze" magnetic imaging].
abstract: The authors propose that a coronal STIR sequence with large FOV, similar to the de Sèze projection, including lumbar spine, sacrum, pelvis and hips should be obtained in all patients as part of the lumbar spine MRI protocol. For an additional few minutes of scanning time, this additional sequence could demonstrate the presence of lesions (hips, pelvis, sacrum, SI joints, retroperitoneum...) that would otherwise go undetected on standard sagittal and axial MRI images of the lumbar spine.
