Magnetic Resonance Imaging System for Generating a Mammographic Representation

摘要

A magnetic resonance imaging system configured for generating a three-dimensional representation of at least one breast of a patient includes: a device configured for generating a homogeneous magnetic field; a system of active gradient coils configured for generating at least one magnetic field gradient within a measurement volume; at least one breast holder having an internal space configured for positioning the at least one breast during an MRI scan within the measurement volume; at least one local coil system that includes at least one individual coil, the at least one individual coil configured to act as an antenna for receiving magnetic resonance signals; and at least one cushion configured for stabilizing the at least one breast by filling the internal space between the at least one breast and an external boundary of the internal space.

1. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system configured for generating a three-dimensional representation of at least one breast of a patient, the MRI system comprising:
a device configured for generating a homogeneous magnetic field; a system of active gradient coils configured for generating at least one magnetic field gradient within a measurement volume; at least one breast holder comprising an internal space configured for positioning the at least one breast during an MRI scan within the measurement volume; at least one local coil system comprising at least one individual coil, the at least one individual coil configured to act as an antenna for receiving magnetic resonance signals; and at least one cushion configured for stabilizing the at least one breast by filling the internal space between the at least one breast and an external boundary of the internal space;
wherein the at least one breast holder comprises at least one cushion in the internal space, wherein the at least one cushion is configured to generate electromagnetic coupling in a region of magnetic resonance to the at least one individual coil of the at least one local coil system.
