Magnetic resonance imaging apparatus

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus that (1) executes, as a main scan, an operation of transmitting an RF pulse based on determined imaging conditions and acquiring nuclear magnetic resonance signals via an RF coil device set on a part of an object to be imaged and (2) reconstruct image data of the imaging part based on the nuclear magnetic resonance signals acquired in the main scan, the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising;

• control computer circus configured to classify conditions of a calibration scan for determining an imaging condition of the main scan or a condition of correction processing of the image data into a condition fixed regardless of the imaging conditions of the main scan, a condition to which a content of a corresponding condition of the main scan is applied without modification and a condition calculated based on at least one of the imaging conditions of the main scan, and calculate the conditions of the calibration scan based on at least one of the imaging conditions of the main scan;
• execute the calibration scan based on the conditions of the calibration scan;
• and
• determine the imaging conditions of the main scan or the condition of the correction processing, based on an execution result of the calibration scan.

• control computer circuits configured to
• select a sequence executed as a calibration scan for determining an imaging condition of the main scan or a condition of correction processing for the image data out of a plurality of sequences stored as options based on at least one of imaging conditions of the main scan, and calculate a condition of a selected sequence;
• the selected sequence as the calibration scan, based on the condition set by the calibration scan setting unit;
• and
• determine the imaging condition of the main scan or the condition of the correction processing, based on an execution result of the calibration scan.
