             A micro-strip coil developed to overcome strongly coupled surface coils in parallel imaging setting is presented. Due to its natural shielding structure, the micro-strip coil has both decoupling and isolation properties. It opens the possibility for different coil geometries with improved SNR for breast MRI.
