Abstract

See full text

An imaging target site of a subject can be automatically aligned with imaging space, without using additional hardware. A nuclear magnetic resonance signal received by a receiver coil arranged at the imaging target site of the subject is used to calculate a position of the receiver coil. A table on which the subject is placed is moved in a manner to align the position of the receiver coil with the imaging space of the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus. With this configuration, the imaging target site of the subject can be aligned with the imaging space of the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus.
