Abstract
An MRI apparatus includes a reception gain storage part, a reception gain acquisition part, and a generation part. The reception gain storage part is configured to store reception gains of MR signals. The reception gains are related to at least one of pieces of patient information and imaging conditions. The reception gain acquisition part is configured to obtain a corresponding reception gain from the reception gain storage part, based on at least one of a piece of patient information and an imaging condition of an object. The piece of the patient information and the imaging condition have been specified for an imaging of the object. The generation part is configured to receive MR signals of the object with an amplification with the reception gain obtained by the reception gain acquisition part, and generate image data based on the received MR signals.
