A magnetic resonance coil has an antenna portion for accommodating a body
part to be examined, the antenna portion is formed by a number of
constituent units connected in series, the positions between various
constituent units are relatively movable. By moving the positions between
the constituent units, a portion of the area between at least two
constituent units overlaps. By increasing or reducing the number of the
constituent units, or by adjusting the overlapped area between the
constituent units, one pair or a number of pairs of the constituent units
are made to overlap completely, so as to achieve the adjustment of the
size of the antenna portion to accommodate a body part to be examined,
and to make said antenna portion as close as possible to the body part to
be examined, so as to obtain a signal with a relatively high
signal-to-noise ratio, and to obtain a relatively high imaging quality.
