Abstract
The RF coil is an 8-shaped coil applied to a receiving coil, for example, of a so-called vertical field magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, and comprises a central conductor which is wide in a y-axis direction and a return path connected to the central conductor and provided to bypass the central conductor. The central conductor has an magnetic field sensitivity of interest in a y-axis direction orthogonal to a static magnetic field B,direction (a z-axis direction). Since the return path has no magnetic field sensitivity of interest, the return path is provided to bypass the central conductor in order to prevent the magnetic field of the return path from interfering with the interest magnetic field of the central conductor.
