Five antenna 140 MHz phased array breast applicator mounted in GE MR patient table. Contoured breast support plate holds patient comfortably over the RF phased array applicator for the duration of treatment. MR scan of breast in applicator using D2O heavy water inside the applicator. D20 has no signal so appears black, increasing the signal to noise ratio and allowing circulation of temperature controlled coolant with no motion artifact that otherwise distorts the image. Note the four silicone oil references for correction of drifts in field gradient magnets.
