For the purpose of providing an RF coil that enables satisfactory imaging
of the prostate, the RF coil is composed of a first saddle coil and a
second saddle coil. The first saddle coil has two loop portions opposed
to each other so that they can sandwich the inferior abdomen of a human
body antero-posteriorly. The second saddle coil has two loop portions
opposed to each other so that they will permit insertion of the inferior
limbs of a human body thereinto and can sandwich the inferior abdomen
thereof laterally.
