PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively pick up an image of an upper T spine of a human body by arranging two openings for inserting a neck and a trunk of the human body in one of mutually vertical two directions in a receiving coil part, and arranging two openings for inserting both shoulders of the human body in the other of two directions. SOLUTION: A receiving coil part 110 arranged in a cradle carried in and out of an inside space of a magnet system having a main magnetic field magnet part, a gradient coil part and an RF coil part is formed as a cylinder body having an almost elliptic cross section, longitudinal directional both ends of the cylinder body are formed as openings 202, 204 for inserting a neck and a trunk of the human body, and openings 206, 208 for inserting both shoulders of the human body are arranged on lateral directional both side surfaces of the cylinder body. When installing this receiving coil part 110 on the human body, the whole T spines including an upper T spine of the human body, that is, a spine between both shoulders are included in an effective sensitivity area of the receiving coil part 110 so as to receive a magnetic resonance signal over the total length of the T spine with excellent sensitivity.
