Herston Imaging Research Facility (HIRF) is now home to a new 18 channel breast coil for MRI, which delivers brilliant image quality and is better able to visualise masses in dense tissue.
The HIRF team are thrilled to have this new equipment available for clinicians and researchers looking to further examine abnormalities found during mammogram or ultrasound.
Breast MRI is a valuable technique to help identify cancer in high-risk patients and can also determine the extent of a known cancer in the breast. This new coil will enhance our breast imaging research capabilities and allow us to participate in multi-site clinical trials.
