| 1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:
a static field generator which generates a static magnetic field in a diagnosis space;
a gradient coil which generates a gradient magnetic field in the static magnetic field;
a movement unit which moves a subject in a first direction in which the subject is inserted into and pulled out of the diagnosis
space through an inlet/outlet of the diagnosis space; and
a supporter which supports the gradient coil,
the supporter including:
a first damping member and a second damping member provided in the first direction; and
a first support member and a second support member which support the first and second damping members on a floor, and have
different thicknesses in the first direction.
