1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:
a transmission coil configured to radiate RF pulses to a subject;
a reception coil configured to receive magnetic resonance signals from the subject; and
first processing circuitry configured to control the transmission coil and the reception coil,
wherein the reception coil includes:
a clock receptor configured to receive a clock signal wirelessly transmitted by the first processing circuitry;
a phase synchronizer configured to perform phase synchronization with the clock signal; and
second processing circuitry configured to control the phase synchronizer, and
wherein the second processing circuitry switches operating states of the phase synchronizer in accordance with a radiation timing of the RF pulses.
