the phase axis and the frequency axis the gradient coil units 106 have three gradient coils not shown one for each of the three gradient magnetic fields the rf coil units 108 transmit rf pulses radio frequency pulses for exciting spins within the body of the object 1 the rf coil units 108 also receive magnetic resonance signals that the excited spins give rise to the rf coil units 108 perform transmission and reception either with the same coils or with different coils a gradient driving unit 130 is connected to the gradient coil units 106 the gradient driving unit 130 provides driving signals to the gradient coil units 106 to have gradient magnetic fields generated the gradient driving unit 130 has three lines of driving circuits not shown one for each of the three gradient coils in the gradient coil units 106 an rf driving unit 140 is connected to the rf coil units 108 the rf driving unit 140 provides driving signals to the rf coil units 108 to have rf pulses transmitted thereby to excite spins within the body of the object 1 a data collecting unit 150 is connected to the rf coil units 108 the data collecting unit 150 captures the receive signals received by the rf coil units 108 by sampling and collects them as digital data a control unit 160 is connected to the table driving unit 120 the gradient driving unit 130 the rf driving unit 140 and the data collecting unit 150 the control unit 160 accomplishes imaging by controlling the table driving unit 120 to the data collecting unit 150 the control unit 160 is configured.
