Synopsis: Strong T1-weighted, high resolution dynamic
contrast enhance MR images are key in the detection of
breast cancer. Combined with phospholipid detection
using 31P Chemical Shift Imaging (CSI), the earlier
alterations in metabolism can be obtained using a novel
decoupling loop a bilateral breast coil was designed for
uncompromised 1H and 31P MR(S)I at 7 tesla enabling
increased spatial and temporal resolution with the 26 1H
receiver channels integrated in the coil. We demonstrate
high spatial and temporal resolution imaging and 31P CSI
in patients with breast cancer.
