Magnetic resonance imaging device and rf coil

A lower cost MRI device with a portable table detachable from the gantry is provided along with a lower cost table equipped with an easy-to-use and easy-to-install RF coil system able to perform high-resolution head and neck imaging and high-speed whole body imaging in both head-first and feet-first modes. This magnetic resonance imaging device has a portable table detachable from the gantry, and the portable table has a docking connector that can be connected to the gantry and a ceiling panel on which an RF coil can be installed to receive nuclear magnetic resonance signals generated by the examinee and to irradiate the examinee with a high-frequency magnetic field. The RF coil is divided into two or more RF coil units, the ceiling panel has a plurality of ceiling panel connectors enabling each RF coil unit to be connected, and each RF coil unit has a connector. Each RF coil unit is arranged in overlapping fashion on the ceiling plate and the ceiling panel connectors and coil connectors are connected without having to establish an electrical connection between RF coil units.
