| 1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:
a static magnetic field magnet which generates a static magnetic field;
a gradient coil unit which generates a gradient magnetic field for overlapping with the static magnetic field;
a shim unit which is disposed between the static magnetic field magnet and the gradient coil unit to control the static magnetic
field; and
a heat shielding member which is disposed between the gradient coil unit and the shim unit to shield a radiant heat of the
gradient coil unit.
