SCAN CONDITION DETERMINING APPARATUS, MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING SYSTEM AND SCAN CONDITION DETERMINING METHOD

摘要

A scan condition determining apparatus determines scan conditions in a magnetic resonance imaging system. The scan condition determining apparatus includes: a setting unit for setting an imaging range, a desired spatial resolution and a desired SN ratio; and a determining unit for determining a matrix number in a frequency encode direction and a matrix number in a phase encode direction, based on the imaging range and the desired spatial resolution set by the setting unit and determining physical parameters different from the matrix number in the frequency encode direction and the matrix number in the phase encode direction, based on the determined matrix numbers, the set imaging range and the set desired SN ratio.
