PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, a setting supporting apparatus and a setting supporting method capable of facilitating a setting of a subject and an RF coil and reproducing a configuration of setting a subject and an RF coil in past image acquisition with high precision. SOLUTION: Support information including at least a setting image showing a present configuration of placing a patient on a bed and a present configuration of placing an RF coil for the patient is displayed. As necessary, the support information is displayed while including the position of a virtual magnetic field center corresponding to the position of a magnetic field center in the case of moving the bed into a gantry. The displayed support information is stored at a predetermined timing and can be read optionally. By observing the displayed support information, the operator can promptly and easily determine whether the placement configuration of the patient and that of the RF coil at present are proper or not, and can accurately correct the placement configuration of the patient or the RF coil.
