Magnetic resonance imaging apparatus

Abstract

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes a main apparatus and a coil apparatus that is separate from the main apparatus. The main apparatus includes a first timer configured to operate on a synchronization clock. The coil apparatus includes processing circuitry and a second timer. The processing circuitry regenerates the synchronization clock from a first wireless signal transmitted by the main apparatus, and detects a timing where a second wireless signal transmitted by the main apparatus is received. The second timer operates on the synchronization clock. The magnetic resonance imaging apparatus performs synchronized imaging operations by correcting at least one of the first timer provided to the main apparatus and the second timer provided to the coil apparatus according to the timing.
