Image generating apparatus, image generating method and storage medium

An image generating method, comprising:

• successively generating, by processing circuitry, during a time period in which acquiring of magnetic resonance data corresponding to magnetic resonance signals emitted from a subject is being performed, a plurality of Magnetic Resonance (MR) images corresponding to different temporal phases, by a first reconstruction method,
• using the magnetic resonance data acquired in the time period;
• determining, by the processing circuitry, during the time period, a temporal phase in the time period, based on the MR images generated by the first reconstruction method, the temporal phase corresponding to an MR image to be generated by a second reconstruction method having a larger processing load than the first reconstruction method;
• and
• generating, by the processing circuitry, during the time period, the MR image corresponding to the determined temporal phase, by the second reconstruction method.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having plural computer-executable commands recorded therein, the commands causing a computer to execute:

• successively generating, during a time period in which acquiring of magnetic resonance data corresponding to magnetic resonance signals emitted from a subject is being performed, a plurality of Magnetic Resonance (MR) images corresponding to different temporal phases, by a first reconstruction method, using the magnetic resonance data acquired in the time period;
• determining, during the time period, a temporal phase in the time period, based on the MR images generated by the first reconstruction method, the temporal phase corresponding to an MR image to be generated by a second reconstruction method having a larger processing load than the first reconstruction method;
• and
• generating, during the time period, the MR image corresponding to the determined temporal phase, by the second reconstruction method.
