Patent number: 10444308Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry and a display. The processing circuitry acquires information of an RF (radio frequency) coil. The processing circuitry sets a protocol to be applied to imaging using the RF coil before execution of the imaging. When there are a plurality of protocols that can be selected as the protocol applied to the imaging, the display displays at least one protocol narrowed down from the protocols as the protocol that can be applied to the imaging, based on information of the RF coil.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Canon Medical Systems CorporationInventors: Sadanori Tomiha, Miyuki Ota, Keiji Tahira, Satoshi Imai, Mitsuo Takagi

Both ends of the belt member are respectively connected to mutually separated places on the base board, so that the center part of the belt member is located on the anterior surface of the base board. The belt member is curved to form airspace between the center part thereof and the anterior surface for letting an arm pass through in interdigitation state. The first coil element includes first and second partial coils inside the belt member, and becomes a loop coil element by their connection. The connecting unit detachably connects the base board to the belt member, and mutually connects the first and second partial coils in the interdigitation state.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2012Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: TOSHIBA MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Miyuki Ota, Sadanori Tomiha, Shinji Mitsui, Mitsuo Takagi, Hiroki Motohashi, Kazuya Okamoto, Junichi Makita
