MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten an inspection time when performing the wide region photography of an object to be inspected and the positional measurement of a receiving coil.

SOLUTION: In a magnetic imaging device of this embodiment, an array coil is formed by aligning a plurality of coil elements which receive magnetic resonance signals generated from the object to be inspected. A collection control part collects the magnetic resonance signals while changing a position in which the object to be inspected attached with the array coil is selectively excited. A wide region image generation part generates a wide region image of the object to be inspected on the basis of the magnetic resonance signals collected by the collection control part. A position measurement part measures a position of the coil element on the basis of the strength of the magnetic resonance signals used for the generation of the wide region image and a position of a ceiling plate when the magnetic resonance signals are collected.
