    摘要: According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a gradient magnetic field power supply, a voltmeter, and processing circuitry. The gradient magnetic field power supply includes an amplifier amplifying an input signal based on information of a gradient magnetic field waveform and outputting the amplified input signal to a gradient coil, a power supply device supplying power to the amplifier, and a capacitor bank supplying power, together with the power supply device, to the amplifier. The voltmeter measures a voltage of the capacitor bank. The processing circuitry calculates frequency characteristics of an impedance of the gradient coil, based on a voltage variation of the capacitor bank which was measured by the voltmeter, and controls imaging in accordance with the calculated frequency characteristics.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an amplifier, a gradient coil, and adjusting circuitry. The amplifier includes pulse width modulation circuitry modulating a pulse width of a driving signal, which is input to switching elements, in accordance with an input of a control signal corresponding to a waveform of a gradient magnetic field. The gradient coil generates the gradient magnetic field by an electric current supplied in accordance with an output voltage which is output from the amplifier. The adjusting circuitry executes adjustment of a gain of the amplifier, which is included in the control signal, or adjustment of the pulse width of the driving signal, in accordance with a dead time included in a switching cycle of the switching elements.
