PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus which can easily specify abnormal element coils among a plurality of element coils that an array coil has.SOLUTION: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an array coil, a generation part, and a discrimination part. The array coil is formed by arraying a plurality of element coils. The generation part generates profile data indicating sensitivity along an array direction of the element coils for every element coil on the basis of magnetic resonance signals received by each of the plurality of element coils. The discrimination part discriminates abnormal element coils among the plurality of element coils on the basis of the profile data generated for every element coil.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT
