Abstract
In order to provide a receive coil comprising a plurality of coils that make no coupling, and a magnetic resonance imaging method and apparatus employing such a receive coil, when a receive coil is formed by disposing a plurality of loops of conductor 424 having series capacitors 422, a low input-impedance amplifier 426 is provided with its input circuit connected in parallel to both ends of the capacitor 422 via an inductor 428 to achieve decoupling between the loops by a high impedance caused by parallel resonance of an LC circuit.
