There is provided an MRI apparatus that is capable of imaging ON/OFF in
response to a biological gating signal and changing conditions for
imaging, even while the moving bed imaging is performed, and further
reducing a load on a subject to be examined, which is caused by
fluctuations in the bed moving velocity. A controller that controls a bed
to transport the examined subject in a static magnetic field and a unit
to apply an RF magnetic field and a gradient magnetic field for imaging
configures settings so that the bed moving velocity is kept constant
considering an entire imaging time, and further controls the magnetic
applying unit for applying the RF magnetic field and the gradient
magnetic field so that a moving velocity of the FOV (imaging area) in the
subject coordinate system is made different from the bed moving velocity.
