ABSTRACT:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus has a gantry including various coils such as a static field coil and gradient field coils, a top board for supporting an examinee and moving the examinee into and out of an opening of the gantry, and an approximately cylindrical RF coil defining a hollow space therein. The RF coil is set to the top board, with an axis of the hollow space extending at an angle to the horizontal. The examinee's imaging site is inserted into the hollow space of the RF coil to have sectional images picked up. Since the RF coil is set to the top board with the axis of the hollow space inclined relative to the horizontal, sectional images may be picked up by using the approximately cylindrical RF coil while allowing the examinee to take a comfortable posture without enlarging the RF coil.
