An MRI system center is connected to a plurality of MRI systems for
visualizing the interior of a subject to be examined using a magnetic
resonance phenomenon, through an electronic communication line. The MRI
system center receives data of a log file on which a use state of the MRI
systems is recorded or use-state data extracted from the log file, from
the MRI systems through a communication control unit. A database unit
stores the data of the log file or the use-state data. An analysis unit
analyzes the data of the log file or the use-state data received within a
given period of time.
