Abstract:
1. An arrangement comprising: at least one first coil capable of generating a first magnetic field in a first direction; at least one second coil capable of generating a second magnetic field in a second direction; and at least one shield surrounding at least one of the first coil or the second coil, wherein one of the at least one first coil or the at least one second coil is configured for use with at least one side of at least one breast and the other of the at least one first coil or the at least one second coil is configured for use with at least another side of the at least one breast, wherein the arrangement is configured to be used in magnetic fields of 7T or greater, and wherein the at least one shield is structured so as to substantially reduce a loss of radiation generated by at least one of the at least one first coil or the at least one second coil.
