Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus which applies RF pulses to a subject placed on a top board which is moving in an imaging field in which a static magnetic field and gradient magnetic fields are formed, acquiring magnetic resonance signals emitted from the subject as a result of application of the RF pulses, producing image data based on the acquired magnetic resonance signals, and stopping the generation of a drive signal to move the top board during a magnetic resonance signal acquisition interval.
