Abstract:
A device includes: a static magnetic field generating device including static magnetic field generating sources generating a homogeneous magnetic field in a space; gradient magnetic field generating sources superimposing a gradient magnetic field on the homogeneous magnetic field, and conductor rings arranged between the static magnetic field generating sources and the gradient magnetic field generating sources in a pair of arranging regions on both sides in a direction of the homogeneous magnetic field in a region where the homogeneous magnetic field is generated (imaging region), respectively, the conductor rings being separated from each other and making a pair. The conductor rings are mechanically connected to the gradient magnetic field generating device or the static magnetic field generating device. This provides an MRI device 1 capable of reduction in vibration with suppression of the image quality deterioration of the tomographic images.
