Abstract
An MRI apparatus which obtains a tomogram of an object by utilizing magnetic resonance includes a calibrating device which figures out a relationship between a center frequency and an optimal gain of RF transmission with respect to a predetermined range of central frequencies, a saving device which saves information expressing said relationship, and a setting device which sets the RF transmission gain according to the center frequency during subsequent scanning by utilizing the saved information.
