Abstract
A Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) apparatus according to an embodiment can execute a plurality of kinds of protocols varying in image contrast, and includes a storage unit and an output unit. The storage unit stores imaging conditions about the plurality of kinds of protocols. The output unit outputs onto a display unit an edit screen for receiving edit of a parameter that is an element of the imaging conditions. The edit screen is output by being separated into a common part that receives edit of parameter common to a plurality of kinds of protocols varying in image contrast, and an individual part that individually receives edit of parameter with respect to each protocol.
Claims20
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus that can execute a plurality of kinds of protocols varying in image contrast, the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit that stores imaging conditions about the plurality of kinds of protocols;
- and
- an output unit that outputs onto a display unit an edit screen for receiving edit of a parameter that is an element of the imaging conditions, wherein the edit screen is output by being separated into a common part that receives edit of parameter common to a plurality of kinds of protocols varying in image contrast, and an individual part that individually receives edit of parameter with respect to each protocol.
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:
- a set-value storage unit that stores a group of set values set in respective parameters that are elements of imaging conditions, with respect to each protocol;
- a definition-information storage unit that stores definition information that defines with respect to each parameter a command to output an edit screen for receiving edit of parameter onto a display unit;
- an acquiring unit that refers to the set-value storage unit with respect to each of specified protocols when a plurality of protocols is specified, and acquires a group of corresponding set values with respect to each protocol;
- an associating unit that associates a group of set values acquired with respect each protocol by the acquiring unit, with definition information about each parameter stored by the definition-information storage unit, in accordance with whether it is a parameter of which reception of edit is to common to a plurality of protocols;
- and
- an output unit that creates the edit screen by using the group of set values associated by the associating unit and the definition information about each parameter, and outputs created edit screen onto the display unit.
