Title:
MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/168033
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention is provided with a sequence control unit (120) and an image generation unit (136). The sequence control unit (120) collects magnetic resonance signals within an imaging region from the time a radio frequency (RF) pulse is applied to a labeling region until a prescribed amount of time has elapsed. The image generation unit (136) generates an image using the magnetic resonance signals. Also, the sequence control unit (120) sets the application timing of the RF pulse such that a first amount of time, from the time when the first RF pulse is applied without selecting a region until the collection of the magnetic resonance signals starts, differs from a second amount of time, from the time when the labeling region is selected and the second RF pulse is applied until the collection of magnetic resonance signals starts.
