1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:
a main unit; and
a receiver coil unit that is a separate unit from the main unit, wherein
the main unit includes processing circuitry configure to
generate a first clock signal,
receive a clock signal sent by the receiver coil unit in a wireless manner, and generate a second clock signal,
perform, in a first time period which is based on pulse sequence information, phase control of a third clock signal, based on phase difference between the first clock signal and the second clock signal, and stop, in a second time period which is based on the pulse sequence information, the phase control,
send the third clock signal in a wireless manner to the receiver coil unit,
receive a magnetic resonance signal sent by the receiver coil unit in a wireless manner, and
process the magnetic resonance signal and reconstruct an image related to a subject.
