ABSTRACT:
In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus being medical diagnostic equipment for understanding the internal structure of a human body, a radio frequency coil for a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus is provided for transmitting and receiving a magnetic resonance signal for forming a magnetic resonance image of a portion of a human body. The coil has an opening formed by splitting a portion of one turn of the coil into two. Thereby, a radio frequency coil for a vertical magnetic field provides a maximum open area. Therefore, a simple operation or an observation can be made through the opening simultaneously with taking a magnetic resonance image of the affected part. Also, a patient can feel less claustrophobic because they can see out through the opening.
