Magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, method for identifying body motion-related shot, and computer-readable non-volatile storage medium storing therein body motion-related shot identification program

A method for identifying a body motion-related shot, the method comprising:

• acquiring a plurality of echo signals not to be encoded corresponding to a plurality of respective shots about acquisition of a plurality of echo signals having been encoded by magnetic resonance imaging for a subject;
• comparing the echo signals not to be encoded with each other about the shots;
• and
• identifying a shot to be removed about generation of a magnetic resonance image about the subject out of the shots based on a comparison result of the echo signals not to be encoded.

A computer-readable non-volatile storage medium storing therein a body motion-related shot identification program causing a computer to implement:

• acquiring a plurality of echo signals not to be encoded corresponding to a plurality of respective shots about acquisition of a plurality of echo signals having been encoded by magnetic resonance imaging for a subject;
• comparing the echo signals not to be encoded with each other about the shots;
• and
• identifying a shot to be removed about generation of a magnetic resonance image about the subject out of the shots based on a comparison result of the echo signals not to be encoded.
