Abstract
In a magnetic resonance imaging device provided with a deformable RF coil permanently mounted on a patient table, the RF coil can constantly maintain a matching state and a tuned state in a state of being flat on a top plate and in a state of being wound around a test object. Coil-side connectors-and-provided in a deformable RF coilform a detector in cooperation with any one of fixture-side connectors-to-, in which the detector detects a fitted state therebetween. A tuning circuit and a matching circuit of coil elements of the RF coilare switched by an output of the detector to change tuning and matching parameters, and to maintain a matching state and a tuned state with respect to a state change indicating that the RF coilis in a wound state.
