In a nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus and RF coil arrangement comprises two or more separable parts (51 and 53) adapted to be assembled around the body to be examined to form the coil arrangement. The parts are suitably arranged to be connected, when assembled, by adjustable coupling structure (55, 57, 59 and 61) so that the volume embraced by the coil arrangement may be adjusted. The invention enables the coil arrangement to be positioned more closely around a body being examined than is possible with conventional, unitary, tubular coil arrangements.
