Abstract
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.
