摘要: An MRI apparatus includes a charge/discharge controlling unit, a judging unit and a condition restricting unit. The charge/discharge controlling unit includes a charge/discharge element, receives electric power, and charges the charge/discharge element by using the received electric power. The charge/discharge controlling unit also supplies a gradient magnetic field coil with electric power discharged from the charge/discharge element at a time of performance of magnetic resonance imaging. The judging unit judges whether capacitance of the charge/discharge element falls below a threshold value or not. The condition restricting unit restricts electric power amount supplied to the gradient magnetic field coil by restricting conditions of an imaging sequence, when the capacitance of the charge/discharge element falls below the threshold value.

摘要: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processing circuit and a sequence control circuit. The processing circuit calculates, based on an imaging sequence to be executed in magnetic resonance imaging, a value of a current flowing through a closed circuit by using an equivalent circuit and determines, prior to an execution of the imaging sequence, based on the value of the current, whether it is acceptable to execute the imaging sequence. The sequence control circuit executes the imaging sequence. The equivalent circuit is an equivalent circuit for a circuit that includes a gradient coil and that has a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit is connected to a power supply and has self-inductance. The second circuit includes at least one closed circuit having mutual inductance with the first circuit.
