Abstract: To provide a diagnostic apparatus utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance suitable for interventional MRI which is not limited as to selection of an imaging section and an phase-encoding axis, the reception coil thereof includes three loop coils arranged so as to surround an object to be examined and to be within a plane including a line segment parallel to a static magnetic field direction, and two surface coils arranged in the vicinity of the surface of the object within a plane including a line segment perpendicular to the static magnetic field direction. In the reception coil, two or more sub-coils have nonuniform sensitivity profiles along an arbitrary axis. Therefore, the reception coil configured to have sensitivity throughout the imaging areas can be realized.
