<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain simplification and high accuracy of postprocessing in rheumatism inspection using a contrast MRI. <P>SOLUTION: In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus having an imaging means for imaging a desired area in an object to be inspected arranged in a still magnetic field by nuclear magnetic resonance and a postprocessing means for postprocessing the imaging result by the imaging means, the imaging means obtains images including a predetermined area of interest before and after injecting contrast agent. The postprocessing means has: a first area-of-interest extracting means for extracting the area of interest as the first area of interest on the image before contrasting obtained before injecting the contrast agent; a candidate area extracting means for extracting a candidate area of the area of interest on the image after contrasting obtained after injecting the contrast agent; and a second area-of-interest extracting means for extracting the area of interest on the image after contrasting as a second area of interest using the first area of interest and the candidate area. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT</p> |
