1. A magnetic resonance imaging device, comprising:
memory circuitry that stores a plurality of sets of statistical information that are classified according to at least one of a body type of a first test subject, a posture of the first test subject, a position of the first test subject, an attachment position of a first radio frequency (RF) coil attached to the first test subject, a type of the first RF coil, identification information of the first RF coil, or a region to be scanned; and
processing circuitry configured to
obtain, from an image of a second test subject taken by an optical photographing device, at least one of: (1) first information indicating at least one of a body type of the second test subject, a posture of the second test subject, or a position of the second test subject; or (2) second information indicating at least one of an attachment position of a second RF coil attached to the second test subject, a type of the second RF coil, identification information of the second RF coil, or a region to be scanned,
select, from the memory circuitry in response to the obtaining of the first information, statistical information corresponding to the first information,
select, from the memory circuitry in response to the obtaining of the second information, statistical information corresponding to the second information, and
output an image indicating how to attach the second RF coil to the second test subject, based on selected statistical information.
