MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE DIAGNOSIS DEVICE, IMAGE ANALYSIS DEVICE, AND MRI IMAGE CREATION METHOD AND PROGRAM

摘要

An MRI wherein a blood flow parameter is presented to a user in a manner suitable for diagnosis of a disease and the user is assisted so that the user can easily ascertain a correlation between blood flow and the disease. An MRI device, wherein images of desired imaging regions of a subject are taken using different imaging methods and a plurality of images having different properties are obtained. The plurality of images include a form image and a blood flow vector image in which blood flow velocity vector values are used as pixel values. Each imaging method is executed so as to minimize positional misalignment between the plurality of images. Post-processing is performed on the blood flow vector image and the form image, and a blood flow parameter image indicating energy loss and other parameters is obtained. The obtained blood flow parameter image is then superposed on an image having information relating to a form or function of the region and displayed to the user.
