Abstract
According to one embodiment, a MRI apparatus determines a first time during which a subsidiary power supply is capable of supplying power to a cooling device based on a capacity of the subsidiary power supply when power outage of a main power supply occurs, and determines a second time needed to demagnetize a superconducting magnet based on an excitation current of the superconducting magnet and a temperature of the superconducting magnet. The MRI apparatus determines starts ramp-down of the superconducting magnet after a third time based on the first time and the second time has elapsed from initiation of power outage of the main power supply.
