    Abstract: A control device of a magnetic resonance (MRI) imaging apparatus includes a condition setting unit and a judging unit. The condition setting unit sets an imaging sequence to be performed by the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus based on set conditions of the set imaging sequence. The judging unit then (a) calculates a value of electric current supplied to a gradient magnetic field coil of the MRI apparatus to perform that set imaging sequence based on the set conditions of the set imaging sequence, (b) calculates a value of voltage that would need to be applied to the gradient magnetic field coil based on a mutual inductance of the gradient magnetic field to cause electric current flowing to the gradient magnetic field coil to become equal to the value of the calculated electric current, and (c) judges whether the set imaging sequence is practicable or not based on the calculated value of voltage.
