MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS

摘要

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes a data gathering unit and an image generating unit, the data gathering unit gathers magnetic resonance data in a non-contrast manner by applying a first readout gradient pulse having a zero-order moment of 0 and a second readout gradient pulse having a zero-order moment of 0 and a first-order moment of a value different from a value of a first-order moment of the first readout gradient pulse to a region of interest including a fluid in motion, and the image generating unit periodically arranges first magnetic resonance data read out with the first readout gradient pulse and second magnetic resonance data read out with the second readout gradient pulse in at least one of a phase encoding direction and a slice encoding direction in a k-space to generate k-space data and reconstructs the k-space data to generate an image in which a fluid image and a static part image surrounding the fluid are spatially separated from each other.
