Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a receiver coil, at least one transmitter antenna, receiver antennas, a signal selection unit and a processing unit. The receiver coil receives a nuclear magnetic resonance signal from an object as a reception signal. The transmitter antenna transmits the reception signal by radio. The receiver antennas are arranged to receive the reception signal. The signal selection unit selects a reception signal received by a specific receiver antenna. The processing unit reconstructs an image of the object from the reception signal selected by the signal selection unit.
