A receiving RF coil includes a coil element group having a figure-eight coil, a first loop coil arranged at the center of the figure-eight coil, and a second loop coil partially overlaid on the first loop coil. Furthermore, a path switching control unit switches the transmitting paths of a signal so that the signal can be received and/or transmitted with a combination of the first loop coil and the second loop coil or a combination of the figure-eight coil and the first loop coil.
