MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS, RECEIVING COIL, COUCH, AND RELAY DEVICE

摘要

According to an embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a couch, a gantry, a receiving coil, a converter, and a collector. On the couch, a subject is placed. The gantry supports a static magnetic field magnet and a gradient coil. The receiving coil receives a magnetic resonance signal emitted from the subject. The converter converts a magnetic resonance signal output from the receiving coil into a digital signal, thereby generating magnetic resonance signal data. The collector collects the magnetic resonance signal data. The couch or the gantry includes a coil port that connects the receiving coil and the collector to each other. The converter is provided in the coil port or a relay device that relays between the receiving coil and the coil port.
