In a bird cage resonator, the axial length of rungs is changed between orthogonal elements. By doing this, the real view fields of orthogonal ports A and B in the sagittal direction are changed and the sensitivity difference between both view fields is reduced. For an object with an elliptical section to be inspected such as the human body, a remarkable difference in detection sensitivity between each orthogonal ports is eliminated and the receiving sensitivity of MRI apparatus employing the QD method is improved.

In an inspection apparatus using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), a spatial distribution of homogeneity of a static magnetic field can be quickly measured even when a heterogeneous object is inspected, by measuring simultaneously phase data and a transverse relaxation time at the same spatial position of the heterogeneous object, removing the difference of a phase term due to a chemical shift by anticipating components at that position and obtaining only the phase data resulting from static magnetic field inhomogeneity. A plurality of low-pass filters are provided to a shim power supply unit for driving a shim coil for generating additional static magnetic fields to correct static magnetic field homogeneity so that a low-pass filter having a small time constant is used at the time of adjustment of static magnetic field homogeneity so as quickly adjust static magnetic field homogeneity, and a low-pass filter having a large time constant is used at the time of the actual measurement of the object in order to prevent degradation of S/N of signals.
