T1&T2 WAIGHTED MEANING ?
All MRI images have contrast (the bright and the dark) that is based on properties of the tissue that's being imaged. In MRI (unlike, for example, CT) those images are based on a combination of several physical properties. So to some extent ALL MRI images are based partly on property A, property B, etc.

The tissue properties that are referred to include proton density (how many hydrogen nuclei are in a given area), motion, and two other properties that are called T1 and T2. These are properties that can be seen onloy by using the MRI instrument, much as without a microscope one cannot see inside a cell.

A T1 weighted image is one in which the differences between T1 properties of the various tissues are the predominant reason why some parts of the image are bright and others are not as bright.

This is medically useful because, since T1 and T2 are distinct properties, diseased tissue may show up different than normal tissue on either the T1 weighted scan or the T2.

Proton Density Imaging
A Proton Density - like a T1 or T2 - is not considered anything; it is what you make it. Most all PD's are run as fast (turbo) spin echo, but many sites run a true spin echo PD on knees to evaluate the meniscus. (It's a long sequence.)

Best Sequence for Ulnar Collateral Ligament
2D or 3D T2* is a good choice. Depending on the machine, also proton density with fat suppression works well.

Proton Density and FOV
I dont see any reason ,why one should have problem with large FOV Proton Density images, technically i dont think there is any such restriction.

what is the exact problem you facing with large FOV PD images?

Proton Density and FOV
Proton Density is often used for musculoskeletal exams with small FOVs. I know no reason why it should not work with a large FOV.
I use PD with fat suppression also for both hips with a FOV of 380 and it works.
