✦ Synopsis

Abstract

An RF multicoil array for high resolution imaging of the breast is presented. The RF multicoil is incorporated into a dedicated breast imaging apparatus that holds either breast in gentle compression during imaging. Simulations and imaging experiments demonstrate the high sensitivity and RF homogeneity of the multicoil array. Direct comparisons are made between the multicoil and a surface coil. In vivo images are presented to demonstrate the homogeneity of the RF field of the multicoil over the entire breast. An in vivo image of both high temporal and spatial resolution is shown, which demonstrates the sensitivity of the RF multicoil array that may be achieved in a practical imaging experiment.
