MR/scintimammography (MR/SMM) is a promising high
sensitivity and high specificity dual-modality imaging
system for the diagnosis of breast cancer. We present a
new unilateral breast specific coil and a novel
dual-modality interface configuration for
MR/scintimammography. The new two channel unilateral
coil consisted of a quadrature solenoid coil and a
quadrature saddle coil. These two channel coils are
specifically designed not only to obtain high
sensitivity breast MR imaging, but also to allow
simultaneous MR/SMM imaging. The performance of this new
system configuration is compared to a commercial breast
coil.
