ABSTRACT:
The MR imaging apparatus is provided with a cable handling unit for handling an RF cable, which comprises a slack-preventing mechanism for winding the RF cable and feeding the RF cable according to a motion of a cradle, a cable guide mechanism for guiding the RF cable and a twist-preventing mechanism for preventing a twist of the RF cable. The slack-preventing mechanism comprises a reel for winding the RF cable and feeding the RF cable and a tension-imparting mechanism for imparting a tension to the RF cable. The cable guide mechanism comprises a stationary guide provided in the gantry and a moving guide having one end linked to the stationary guide slidably and another end linked to the cradle rotatably. The twist-preventing mechanism comprises a reel which can rotate according to a motion of the cradle, wherein the reel winds the RF cable loosely in a predetermined number of turns so that when the reel rotates in a predetermined direction, the number of turns decreases and when the reel rotates reversely, the number of turns increases.
