To reduce time required for attaching work of a high-frequency coil.SOLUTION: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment comprises a coil movement mechanism, an identification unit, and a control unit. The coil movement mechanism moves a high-frequency coil receiving an MR (Magnet Resonance) signal from an analyte, in such a manner that the high-frequency coil can be retracted from an imaging position. The identification unit identifies the high-frequency coil to be used for inspection of the analyte, in accordance with an imaging condition. The control unit controls the coil movement mechanism in such a way that the high-frequency coil identified by the identification unit moves from a retracting position to the imaging position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】高周波コイルの取り付け作業に要する時間を低減すること。【解決手段】実施形態に係る磁気共鳴イメージング装置は、コイル移動機構と、特定部と、制御部とを備える。コイル移動機構は、被検体からＭＲ（Magnet Resonance）信号を受信する高周波コイルを撮像位置から退避可能なように移動させる。特定部は、撮像条件に応じて、被検体の検査に使用する高周波コイルを特定する。制御部は、特定部により特定された高周波コイルを退避位置から撮像位置に移動するようにコイル移動機構を制御する。【選択図】図１
