Instructions And Patient Preparation<\/h3>\n
\n
Instructions<\/dt>\n
• Ensure to increase the FOV as needed to include all breast tissue and axillae; use same FOV for all sequences
• Be careful about reducing FOV; sequences may be signal starved
• Ensure to pull abdominal tissue down to prevent a fold into the coil and FOV
• Ensure to pull medial breast tissue into coil, and if there is a side panel, to push that in so it is gently touching the breast to prevent motion
• Ensure axilla tissue is in the coil and not above the side panel<\/dd>\n
