Abstract
According to one embodiment, a magnetic field adjustment implement for a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a magnetic field adjustment unit and a placing unit. The magnetic field adjustment unit is configured to improve a uniformity of a static magnetic field formed by a magnet of the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus. The static magnetic field is formed under an influence of a circumstance in a shield room in which the magnet is placed. The magnetic field adjustment is placed outside the magnet. The placing unit is configured to place the magnetic field adjustment unit outside the magnet.
