Abstract

A magnetic resonance imaging (MR) apparatus includes a mode switching part and an imaging system. The mode switching part is configured to put a circuit system consuming power into a shutdown state when a first trigger has been detected and to put the circuit system back into a startup state when a second trigger has been detected. The first trigger shows that MR imaging does not start for a certain period. The second trigger shows that MR imaging starts. The imaging system is configured to perform MR imaging by using the circuit system after being set to the startup state.
