摘要： The present invention provides a vertical magnetic field MRI apparatus which is capable of speeding up imaging for taking an image of any cross section of a wide area such as a total body, while suppressing increase of the number of channels and maintaining high sensitivity in a deep portion of a subject. A receiver coil unit 500 incorporates a bed coil unit 600 whose longitudinal direction agrees with a body axis direction of the test object 103, and an upper coil unit 700 which is detachably mounted on the bed coil unit 600. The bed coil unit 600 is provided with a carrying surface 601 for placing the test object 103 thereon and multiple lower sub-coils arranged in a lower part of the carrying surface 601, and the upper coil unit 700 is provided with multiple upper sub-coils which are connected to the lower sub-coils. The upper sub-coils are separated into two parts; one arranged in a flexible inner support 20-1 covering the installation surface 601 and another arranged in a flexible outer support 20-2 covering the external side of the inner support 20-1. The upper sub-coils and the lower sub-coils are connected by mounting the upper coil unit 700 on the bed coil unit 600, thereby forming the multiple types of sub-coils.

摘要： A planar irradiating coil including a first ring conductor, a second ring conductor having a smaller diameter than that of the first ring conductor, and a plurality of first line conductors that connects the first ring conductor and the second ring conductor, is provided with means for causing the irradiation pulse to be more uniform. That is, in order to make the irradiation pulse more uniform, it is necessary to disperse the operating voltage or to diverge the irradiation current. Therefore, the irradiating coil is provided with a plurality of resonant capacitance elements on the first ring conductor between its connections with the first line conductors, or it is provided with second line conductors, that are connected to the first line conductors, and third line conductors, that connect each end of the second line conductors with the second ring conductor.
