Abstract
A magnetic-resonance imaging apparatus of an embodiment includes a gradient coil, a transmitter coil, and a processing circuitry. The gradient coil applies a gradient magnetic field to an imaging space in which a subject is placed. The transmitter coil applies a RF (radio frequency) pulse to the imaging space. The processing circuitry calculates a target temperature of the gradient coil throughout multiple protocols to be executed in an examination of the subject, and controls a temperature of the gradient coil to approach the target temperature when a data used to set a center frequency of the RF pulse is measured.
