Claim:
1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus performing magnetic resonance imaging, with application of a gradient magnetic field to an imaging region by supplying a gradient magnetic field coil with electric power according to an imaging sequence, comprising: a charge/discharge controlling unit configured to include a charge/discharge element, receive electric power, charge the charge/discharge element by using received electric power, and supply the gradient magnetic field coil with electric power discharged from the charge/discharge element at a time of performance of the magnetic resonance imaging; a judging unit configured to judge whether capacitance of the charge/discharge element falls below a threshold value or not; and a condition restricting unit configured to restrict an electric power amount supplied to the gradient magnetic field coil by restricting conditions of the imaging sequence, when the judging unit judges that the capacitance of the charge/discharge element falls below the threshold value.
