Magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and magnetic resonance imaging method

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:

• a setting unit configured to set a first section position;
• an image creating unit configured to create a first image at the first section position based on magnetic resonance signals collected from a subject by a first imaging sequence or on the basis of images based on the magnetic resonance signals and to create a second 3D image based on magnetic resonance signals collected from the subject by a second imaging sequence different from the first imaging sequence for a 3D region that at least partially overlaps with the first section position;
• a determining unit configured to determine a second section position corresponding to where the first image and second image overlap one another;
• and
• said image creating unit further configured to create a third image at the second section position using a multi planar reformat process on the second 3D image.
