Abstract
In one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes: a scanner that includes a static magnetic field magnet configured to generate a static magnetic field, a gradient coil configured to generate a gradient magnetic field, and a WB (Whole Body) coil configured to apply an RF pulse to an object; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: set (i) a pulse sequence in which a sequence element is repeated, the sequence element including at least an inversion pulse and (ii) a data acquisition sequence executed after a delay time from the inversion pulse; and cause the scanner to execute the pulse sequence by using virtual gating.
