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
arbitrarily. 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.
