Abstract
According to one embodiment, an MRI apparatus () obtains a nuclear magnetic resonance signal from an RF coil device () which detects the nuclear magnetic resonance signal emitted from an object (P), and this MRI apparatus () includes a first radio communication unit (), a second radio communication unit () and an image reconstruction unit (). The first radio communication unit () obtains the nuclear magnetic resonance signal detected by the RF coil device (), and wirelessly transmits the nuclear magnetic resonance signal in a digitized state via an induced electric field. The second radio communication unit () receives the nuclear magnetic resonance signal wirelessly transmitted from the first radio communication unit () via the induced electric field. The image reconstruction unit () reconstructs image data of the object (P) based on the nuclear magnetic resonance signal received by the second radio communication unit ().
