ABSTRACT:
A person to be inspected lies on his back on the tabletop of the patient table. The person is moved together with the tabletop so that the head of the person which is the inspection part, coincides with almost the center of the superconductive magnet. A control circuit controls the operations of a power source for a gradient magnetic field and a radio frequency transmission and reception circuit. The control circuit furthermore outputs a control signal to a light emitter control circuit, which controls a light emitter, which emits light in a predetermined color into a magnet space so as to change the quantity of light and color tone in the magnet space. Light emission and the magnetic resonance inspection sequence are synchronized with each other. An type of irritation may be given to the person to be inspected, such a by sound, heat, or electric signal, in place of light.
