    摘要: In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment, an array coil is structured by arranging a plurality of coil elements each of which receives a magnetic resonance signal generated from a subject. An acquisition controlling unit acquires the magnetic resonance signals while changing a position to be selected and excited within the subject who has the array coil attached thereon. A large-area image generating unit generates a large-area image of the subject, based on the magnetic resonance signals acquired by the acquisition controlling unit. A position measuring unit measures positions of the coil elements, based on strengths of the magnetic resonance signals used for generating the large-area image and positions of the couchtop corresponding to the times when the magnetic resonance signals were acquired.

    摘要: By employing controlled setting of a phase-encoding direction in MRI, for imaging a tissue or blood flow composed of spins whose time T.sub.2 is rather short or ranges from 100 to 200 milliseconds, signal levels induced by the blood flow or the like are raised in order to maintain a good signal-to-noise ratio. An image enjoying an excellent depiction ability can be produced without the loss of information of directivities of blood flows or tissues running in diverse directions. An MRI system utilizing the Fourier transform comprises an element for scanning the same region to be imaged of a subject a plurality of times while changing phase-encoding directions, and an element for producing image data of one frame on the basis of MR rawdata of a plurality of frames. The producing element includes, for example, a unit for reconstructing image data in the real space by processing frame by frame MR raw data of a plurality of frames, and a unit for synthesizing reconstructed image data of the plurality of frames so as to produce image data of one frame. Synthesis is, for example, addition or maximum intensity projection.

    摘要: A storage unit stores coil positional information that indicates a physical position of an element coil relative to a representative position set on a receiving coil. A creating unit creates profile data that indicates a distribution of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) signals in a coil-arrangement direction. A calculating unit calculates the position of a representative position set on the receiving coil by performing a regression analysis by using the coil positional information and the profile data. A control unit causes a display unit to display the position of each element coil based on the calculated position of the representative position.
