Abstract
According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an amplifier, a capacitor bank, and processing circuitry. The amplifier supplies, based on an imaging sequence, an RF pulse to an RF coil which generates a radio frequency magnetic field. The capacitor bank supplies an electric power to the amplifier. The processing circuitry judges whether an imaging by the imaging sequence is able to be executed, based on a condition of the RF pulse in the imaging sequence and an output efficiency of the amplifier.
