There is provided an RF coil capable of resonating or tuning two
frequencies, having uniform spatial sensitivity and having a small
spatially occupied volume, especially an RF coil suitable for a high
magnetic field MRI apparatus. A coil apparatus is made up of a plurality
of linear conductors 200, 201 arranged around a central axis and two ring
conductors 202, 203 connected to the respective ends of the plurality of
linear conductors 200, 201 and capacitors are inserted in the linear
conductors 200, 201 and ring conductors 202, 203. The plurality of linear
conductors are made up of conductors 200 located near the central axis
and conductors 201 located far from the central axis and the ring
conductors 202, 203 have star-like polygonal shape so that the linear
conductors are arranged alternately. This structure can realize two
tuning modes; a resonance mode similar to a birdcage type resonance mode
and a resonance mode which becomes zero (node) in the vicinity of the
linear conductor group 200 located near the central axis.
