Four double‐breast coils were designed for the low‐field resistive magnet MR imaging of female breasts at 0.02, 0.04, and 0.1 T. The signal‐to‐noise ratio is optimized by shaping the coils, by constructing two different size coils at 0.02 T, and by using special wire for the turns of the solenoidal coils. The approximate linear dependence of the SNR on the Larmor frequency is estimated.
