<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a slice determining device, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, a slice determining method, and a program by which a slice can be determined to an optimum position with respect to each subject. <P>SOLUTION: A line segmentαβlying on a reference axis V is rotated by a rotational angleΦ=Φ1 about an origin O of the reference axes V and W. With the rotation of the line segmentαβby the rotational angleΦ1, pointsαandβare shifted to pointsα' andβ' respectively. Next, the line segmentα'β' is parallel-moved by an offset T=t1 to thereby set a reference slice Sr. After setting the reference slice Sr, slices S1 through Sn are set by setting the positions of the remaining slices on the basis of the reference slice Sr. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
