<p>An MRI apparatus, which is intended to produce a diffusion-weighted image in a short scan time without being affected by a slight motion of the subject, applies an excitation RF pulse R90 and a slice-select pulse S1, next applies an MPG pulse MPG1, next applies an inverted RF pulse R180 and a slice-select pulse S2, and next applies an MPG pulse MPG2. Subsequently, the apparatus applies a read pulse RDx to one read axis (x-direction) and a read pulse RDy to another read axis (y-direction) so that the vector-composed read gradient has a direction of angle &thetas; i of a virtual radial line on the slice plane, and collects data for imaging from echoes e. The apparatus implements once or repeats the series of pulse application and data collection while inverting the polarity of the read pulses RDx and RDy and varying the areas of the read pulses RDx and RDy thereby to vary the angle &thetas; i so that the echoes e settle, thereby collecting data necessary for image reconstruction. <IMAGE></p> |
