PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means for easily acquiring an installation position of a reception coil in a short period of time in a multi-station photography.SOLUTION: The magnetic resonance imaging system for photographing an image while moving a subject in a space by a moving means is provided with: a bed movement managing means for managing a moving distance of a bed from its initial position a reception coil information acquisition means for acquiring information about the reception coil a reception coil information storage means for storing information on the reception coil acquired by the reception coil information acquisition means and a display means for displaying the information stored in the reception coil information storage means. The reception coil information acquisition means acquires information on the movement distance at timing with which the information about the reception coil has been acquired from the bed movement managing means, coordinates it with the information on the reception coil, and stores it in the reception coil information storage means. During photographing a positioning image before the regular photography is performed, a position of the reception coil is detected, superimposed on the positioning image, and displayed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】マルチステーション撮影において、短時間で容易に受信コイルの設置位置を取得する手段を提示する。【解決手段】被検体を移動手段により前記空間内で移動させながら撮像を行なう磁気共鳴イメージング装置において、前記寝台の初期位置からの移動距離を管理する寝台移動管理手段と、前記受信コイルの情報を取得する受信コイル情報取得手段と、前記受信コイル情報取得手段が取得した前記受信コイルの情報を格納する受信コイル情報格納手段と、前記受信コイル情報格納手段に格納された情報を表示させる表示手段とを備え、前記受信コイル情報取得手段は、前記受信コイルの情報を取得したタイミングの前記移動距離の情報を前記寝台移動管理手段から取得し、当該受信コイルの情報に対応づけて前記受信コイル情報格納手段に格納し、本撮影前に行う位置決め画像の撮影時に、受信コイルの位置を検出し、位置決め画像に重畳して表示させる。【選択図】図5
