Abstract

For the first time a double turn breast coil has been described which can be used for 1H imaging, 1H spectroscopy and 31P spectroscopy. The paper describes basic technical features of the coil, coil design, B1 field/excitation field distribution for 1H and 31P, sensitivity, and feasibility for 31P spectroscopic in vivo studies. The main advantage of the double frequency tuneable coil is that 1H imaging for tumor localization and 31P spectroscopy for response control can be done without an additional repositioning of the patient.
