PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a birdcage coil which can be used suitably for photographing the head of an examinee by an MRI device of a vertical magnetostatic field type. SOLUTION: This birdcage coil is provided with a first ringformed conductor 1, a second ringformed conductor 2, plural linear conductors 3 disposed at intervals from each other between the conductor 1 and the conductor 2, a curved conductor 4 for making a part for allowing the neck of an examinee H to pass through and connectors 5 provided at the respective part of the conductor 1 and the conductor 2 corresponding to a part for allowing the neck of the examinee H to pass through. The conductor 1 and the conductor 2 are flexible. Thus, the MRI device of a vertical magnetostatic field type is capable of sensitively photographing the head of the examinee H lying horizontally.
