ABSTRACT:
An MRI breast coil is provided with a large transverse access portal and a stereotactic frame for guiding a biopsy needle. The portal is covered by thin sheath of plastic to retain the breast but still allow insertion of the needle to any location. The frame aligns the needle by azimuth, height and depth.
