According to one embodiment, an MRI apparatus ( 20 A to 20 C) includes a supporting unit ( 80 a to 80 c ), a first radio communication unit ( 200 ), a second radio communication unit ( 300 A to 300 C) and a power supply unit ( 320 a, 320 b , 550, 572, 574 and 610 ). The supporting unit supports a table inside a gantry ( 21 ). The first radio communication unit acquires an MR signal detected by an RF coil device ( 100 A and 100 B), and wirelessly transmits the MR signal. The second radio communication unit receives the MR signal wirelessly transmitted from the first radio communication unit. At least a part of the power supply unit is disposed inside a bed device ( 32 ) or inside the supporting unit. The power supply unit supplies consumed power of the RF coil device via the first radio communication unit, by wirelessly supplying electric power to the first radio communication unit. |
