An MRI apparatus having a configuration that reduces vibration of a static
magnetic field generating source is provided. A closed vessel 2 of the
static magnetic field generating source is provided with a rigid
structure 4 for preventing transmission of vibration generated from a
gradient magnetic field generating part 21 to other members via the
closed vessel 2. The rigid structure 4 uses, for example, a connecting
part 4 that connects a face 25 on the imaging space side and a face 26
confronting it. The rigidity of the closed vessel is thereby increased,
and therefore vibration transmitted from the gradient magnetic field
generating part can be reduced. The connecting part can have a
through-hole structure, and in such a case, internal space of
through-hole can be used for drawing cables.
