Abstract
A magnetic resonance diagnosing apparatus includes a generating unit which generates a plurality of slice images of a object for an imaging region, a determining unit which determines a plurality of slice regions for spectroscopy within the imaging region, and a measurement unit which measures a magnetic resonance spectrum of the object for each of voxels set on the plurality of determined slice regions.

A magnetic resonance diagnosing apparatus comprising:
- a generating unit which generates a plurality of MRI slice images of an object for an imaging region;
- a determining unit which determines a plurality of designated slice regions for MR spectroscopy (MRS) within the imaging region including the movement of a designated slice region as required to make an MRI slice image voxel position coincide with an MRI slice image position;
- and
- a measurement unit which measures a magnetic resonance spectrum of the object for each of voxels set on the plurality of designated slice regions still contained within said MRI slice imaging region.
A magnetic resonance diagnosing apparatus comprising:
- a determining unit which determines a plurality of MRS slice regions for spectroscopy;
- a measurement unit which measures a magnetic resonance spectrum of an object for each of voxels set on the plurality of determined MRS slice regions;
- and
- a generating unit which generates MRI slice images of the object with regard to each of a plurality of MRI slice positions that coincide with positions of the voxels in the plurality of MRS slice regions.
A method of operating a magnetic resonance diagnosing apparatus, said method comprising:
- generating a plurality of MRI slice images of an object for an imaging region;
- determining a plurality of designated slice regions for MR spectroscopy (MRS) within the imaging region including the movement of a designated slice region as required to make an MRI slice image voxel position coincide with an MRI slice image position;
- and
- measuring a magnetic resonance spectrum of the object for each of voxels set on the plurality of designated slice regions still contained within said MRI slice imaging region.
