Abstract
According to one embodiment, a radio frequency coil unit includes cables, radio frequency coil elements and balun circuits. The cables correspond to channels. The radio frequency coil elements are directly or indirectly connected to the cables. The balun circuits suppress an influence of an unbalanced current flowing into partial radio frequency coil elements out of the radio frequency coil elements. A part of the cables pass through at least one of the balun circuits in contact with or in non-contact with at least one of the balun circuits.
