    摘要: According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an image generating unit, a judging unit and a correction unit. The image generating unit receives, from an object, a magnetic resonance signal caused by transmission of an RF pulse to cause a nuclear magnetic resonance, and generates image data of the object based on the magnetic resonance signal. The judging unit identifies an implant region where an implant part exists inside the object, based on the image data. The correction unit acquires magnetic resonance frequency information from a body region which is a region inside the object excluding the implant region, and corrects a center frequency of the RF pulse based on the magnetic resonance frequency information.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a spectrum acquisition unit, a resonance frequency acquisition unit and an imaging unit. The spectrum acquisition unit is configured to acquire frequency spectra of magnetic resonance signals from an object while changing a suppression effect or an enhancing effect of signals from a specific material. The resonance frequency acquisition unit is configured to obtain a resonance frequency of the specific material or another material based on an index representing a difference in intensities of signals from the specific material or the another material between the frequency spectra. The imaging unit is configured to perform imaging using a radio frequency pulse having a center frequency set to the resonance frequency of the specific material or the another material.
