Claim:
1. An RF coil device which is configured to be set on a shoulder of an object and to receive an echo signal in magnetic resonance imaging, said RF coil device comprising: a base board that has a thickness between an anterior surface and an underside surface opposite to the anterior surface, and is to come into contact with the object at the anterior surface; a belt member that has a band-like shape with two ends, is connected at each end to the base board at different positions spaced apart from each other with a central part of the belt member being located on a side of the anterior surface of the base board, and is bent to form a space for disposing an arm of the object between the central part and the anterior surface when the base board and the belt member are connected to each other; a first coil element that includes a first partial coil disposed in the belt member and a second partial coil disposed in the base board and forms a loop coil when the first partial coil and the second partial coil are electrically connected to each other; a second coil element disposed in the base board; and a plurality of connecting units that are disposed on the anterior surface of the base board at one end and another end of the second partial coil, detachably connects the base board and the belt member to each other, and electrically connects the first partial coil and the second partial coil to each other when the base board and the belt member are connected to each other.
