Abstract
According to a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) apparatus, each of buttons provided in a plurality of sections included in a receiving coil receives from an operator a selecting operation of selecting a section in which the button itself is provided. A control unit of a computer system moves a table on which a subject is placed such that the center of the section selected by receiving the selecting operation via the button is positioned at the center of a magnetic field.
