Abstract
According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to calculate an allowable amount of heat input to a superconducting magnet, the allowable amount being allocated to each of a plurality of imagings scheduled during a target period. The processing circuitry is configured to determine an imaging condition based on the allowable amount in the each of the plurality of imagings.

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to:
- acquire a target period and imaging information including information of a plurality of imagings, each including a corresponding imaging sequence, scheduled during the target period;
- calculate an allowable amount of heat input to a superconducting magnet, and calculate a corresponding allowable amount of heat allocated to each of the plurality of imagings scheduled during the target period;
- and
- determine an imaging condition based on the corresponding allowable amount of heat in each of the plurality of imagings.
An imaging management method, comprising:
- acquiring a target period and imaging information including information of a plurality of imagings, each including a corresponding imaging sequence, scheduled during the target period;
- calculating an allowable amount of heat input to a superconducting magnet, and calculating a corresponding allowable amount of heat allocated to each of the plurality of imagings scheduled during the target period;
- and
- determining an imaging condition based on the corresponding allowable amount of heat in each of the plurality of imagings.
