Abstract
In a mammography antenna arrangement for magnetic resonance examinations of a female breast, a conductor arrangement forms a closed circuit and surrounds a receptacle opening for the female breast. The receptacle opening lies in a surface that is essentially horizontally directed. Two arcuate conductor segments have their ends connected to the conductor arrangement via electrical connecting locations and surround an examination space that is fashioned for the acceptance of the female breast. The two conductor segments are respectively arranged in vertical, planes, the two planes being perpendicular to one another.
