1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, comprising:
- an image generating unit that receives, from an object, a magnetic resonance signal generated as a result of transmission of an RF pulse and generates image data of the object based on the magnetic resonance signal; and
an SAR calculating unit that performs a correction operation on an energy control value of the RF pulse according to an imaging condition and calculates an SAR value based on an energy value subjected to the correction operation.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, an MRI apparatus includes an image generating unit and an SAR calculating unit. The image generating unit receives a magnetic resonance signal generated as a result of transmission of an RF pulse from an object, and generates image data of the object based on the magnetic resonance signal. The SAR calculating unit performs a correction operation on an energy control value of the RF pulse according to an imaging condition, and calculates an SAR value based on an energy value subjected to the correction operation.
