Abstract
According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a gradient coil, power supply circuitry, and control circuitry. The gradient coil generates a gradient magnetic field. The power supply circuitry supply power to the gradient coil, the power being required by the gradient. The control circuitry temporarily change an upper limit value of power to be supplied by the power supply circuitry to a second value higher than a first value as a rated value based on the power required by the gradient coil.
