ABSTRACT:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a phased array coil including a plurality of local coils, a pre-scanning unit which pre-scans, before image scanning, an area including at least part of an image scanning area, a determination unit which determines whether each of the local coils is abnormal, based on signals output from the local coils during pre-scanning, and an information supply unit which supplies a user with information indicating an abnormal local coil, if the determination unit determines that the local coils include the abnormal local coil.
