摘要:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes: a static magnetic field generating unit which generates a static magnetic field, a measuring unit which measures the strength distribution characteristic of the static magnetic field, a determination unit which determines correction amounts for first- to nth-order (n is a natural number of more than one) components of the strength distribution characteristic of the static magnetic field by fixing the correction amount for at least one of specific component which are part of the first- to nth-order components at a predetermined amount and determining the correction amounts for other components than the specific components on the basis of the strength distribution characteristic, and a correction magnetic field generating unit which generates correction magnetic fields to correct the static magnetic field on the basis of the correction amounts.

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an acquisition unit which acquires first data in which a tissue of interest has higher signal intensity than a background and second data in which the tissue of interest has lower signal intensity than the background, with regard to images of the same region of the same subject, and a generation unit which generates, on the basis of the first data and the second data, third data in which the contrast of the tissue of interest to the background is higher than those in the first and second data.

A magnetic resonance imaging diagnostic apparatus includes a generating unit which generates a slice gradient magnetic field, a phase-encode gradient magnetic field and a read-out gradient magnetic field that extend in a slice axis, a phase-encode axis and a read-out axis, respectively, a setting unit which sets a dephase amount for weighting a signal-level decrease resulting from flows in the arteries and veins present in a region of interest of a subject, with respect to at least one axis selected form the slice axis, phase-encode axis and read-out axes, and a control unit which controls the generating unit by using a pulse sequence for a gradient echo system, which includes a dephase gradient-magnetic-field pulse that corresponds to the dephase amount set by the setting unit for the at least one axis.

摘要:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a collector which collects magnetic resonance signals emitted from a region of interest of a subject, and a correction magnetic field generator which generates a correction magnetic field to correct the nonuniformity of a static magnetic field on the basis of magnetic resonance signals which are contained in the magnetic resonance signals collected by the collector, are emitted from a specific region which forms a portion of the region of interest.
