MRI RECEPTION COIL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an intracorporeal lumen-imaging multilayer coil type MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) probe having a reception coil of an NMR signal, allowing imaging of a lesion difficult to be imaged with a normal MRI apparatus from the inside of the body by mounting the reception coil at the tip of a catheter or an endoscope and leading it into a blood vessel or a digestive tract in a deep part inside the body, and allowing high-resolution drawing of the blood vessel or the digestive tract in the deep part inside the body to achieve preventive diagnosis of a disease.SOLUTION: An MRI reception coil is formed with at least a coil part 32 on a small-diameter tube 31. A part of wiring of one loop forming the coil part is formed with a projecting part 35 projecting on a distal side in the axial direction of the tube or a recessed part recessed on a proximal side in the axial direction of the tube.
