Abstract
An MRI apparatus provided with a support panel on which a subject is placed, the MRI apparatus including a noise cancelling unit movably installed at the support panel in a longitudinal direction of the support panel and configured to output a sound wave to cancel noise that reaches a target position, and a controller configured to control the noise cancelling unit to be moved to a target position and output the sound wave to cancel the noise.
Claims19
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus comprising:
- a support panel on which a subject is placed;
- a noise cancelling unit which is installed at the support panel to be movable in a longitudinal direction of the support panel and configured to output a sound wave that cancels noise that reaches a target position;
- and
- a controller configured to control the noise cancelling unit to be moved to the target position and to output the sound wave that cancels the noise.
A method of controlling a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus, the method comprising:
- moving a noise cancelling unit, which is installed at a support panel on which a subject is placed, to be movable in a lengthwise direction of the support panel, to a target position;
- and
- outputting a sound wave that cancels noise which reaches the target position.
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus comprising:
- a support panel on which a subject is placed in an imaging region;
- a controller configured to determine a target position of the support panel, based on a geometry of the subject;
- and
- a noise cancelling unit comprising a body which is installed on the support panel to be movable in a longitudinal direction of the support panel to the target position and configured to output a sound wave that cancels noise that reaches the target position.
