An MRI apparatus consolidates and stores maintenance and/or performance data automatically measured by a measurement unit and data manually input via an input device. The automatically measured data may include an adjustment value, a state value or an error record. The manually input data may include a software and/or hardware upgrade record, a customized situation record, a network connection record, a repair record, a check record, a maintenance record or an installation record, for example. Both types of data can be obtained swiftly and faults or malfunctions can be recovered from quickly or even prevented in advance. The stored data may be communicated among a plurality of MRI apparatuses, a service center apparatus and a maintenance support apparatus via a communications network.
