Abstract
MRI apparatus includes a first radio frequency (RF) communication unit, a second RF communication unit, an image reconstruction unit and a table for loading an object. The first RF communication unit obtains a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signal detected by an RF coil device, and wirelessly transmits a digitized NMR signal via an induced electric field. The second RF communication unit receives the NMR signal via the induced electric field. The image reconstruction unit reconstructs image data based on the NMR signal. The table includes a supporting unit which detachably supports the first RF communication unit to the second radio communication unit so that an interval between the first and second RF communication units enables RF communication via the induced electric field.
