Abstract
A cooling device for sub-MRI units of an embodiment includes a tank in which cooling water for cooling a heat generating unit that an MRI apparatus has is stored, a pump which circulates the cooling water stored in the tank through a circulation path starting from the tank and traveling around the heat generating unit, a heat exchanger which cools the cooling water, and a controller which decides that a water leakage has occurred on the circulation path when a decreasing rate of the cooling water in the tank is greater than a given reference value.
