Abstract: A Q value of the RF irradiation coil is easily obtained in a state in which an object is disposed in an MRI apparatus, and an SAR is predicted with high accuracy. For this, an irradiation coil 14a irradiates an object 1 with a high frequency magnetic field pulse in a state in which the object 1 is disposed in an imaging space, and a transmitted voltage and a reflected voltage of the irradiation coil 14a are detected. A Q value of the irradiation coil in a state of the object 1 being disposed is obtained on the basis of the transmitted voltage and the reflected voltage. A specific absorption rate (SAR) in a case of executing an imaging pulse sequence on the object is predicted by using the Q value.
