Abstract
An imaging acquisition assembly for acquiring images using electromagnetic radiation and an imaging station are provided for use in imaging a breast using both magnetic resonance imaging techniques and electromagnetic radiation techniques. The acquisition assembly includes an elevating platform to which an electromagnetic source and detector are mounted, rendering the source and detector selectively positionable around a breast for electromagnetic imaging such as XRM or PET. The source and detector can be mounted to a rotatable disk to allow for imaging the breast from various angles, and can also be offset from vertical to allow other imaging configurations.
