摘要:Systems and methods for imaging tissue of a patient positioned in a supine position is disclosed. The system includes an imaging array comprising a flexible mounting element, wherein the flexible mounting element includes at least a first articulating member configured to flex into position responsive to pressure and hold a flexed position upon release of pressure. In another example, the imaging array includes a curved portion, sized and dimensioned for positioning adjacent to a naturally positioned breast in response to articulation of the at least one articulating member of the flexible mounting element. In another example, the imaging array includes an RF coil array disposed on the flexible mounting element.
