MR breast imaging has high sensitivity but not high specificity. Microwave Tomography (MT) provides complimentary permittivity information that may improve specificity. MT has poor spatial resolution. Combining MR and MT may address both spatial and specificity issues. Previous MT and MR work demonstrated the MT-MR combination potential. However, there is no dedicated MR coil available for MT-MR combination. The only available coils are the whole-body coil or a single-loop coil that have poor MR image quality. A dedicated 3-ch MRI coil is proposed here for superior MRI imaging quality which enables the next step MT-MR volunteer evaluation.
