Abstract: According to one embodiment, MRI apparatus includes processing circuitry and an imaging device. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire at least one of body size information relating to a size of an object and breath-hold information relating to a breath-holdable time of the object. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine an imaging condition to be performed on the object based on the at least one of the body size information and the breath-hold information. The imaging device performs imaging of the object in accordance with the determined imaging condition.

Abstract: In one embodiment, an MRI apparatus includes a memory storing a predetermined program and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry configured, by executing the predetermined program, to generate a first image based on first data acquired from an object with Ultrashort TE (UTE), generate a second image based on second data acquired from the object with non-UTE, generate a mask image from the second image, and perform mask processing, by using the mask image, to remove or reduce an undesired signal around the object depicted in the first image.

Abstract: An imaging assisting apparatus according to an embodiment is configured to assist imaging of a medical image diagnosis apparatus that performs a series of medical examinations including a plurality of scan protocols, the imaging assisting apparatus including a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to obtain data acquired according to one or more already-executed scan protocols among the plurality of scan protocols. The processing circuit is configured to perform one of the following when a disease or a region suspected of a disease is extracted from the data: controlling a scan protocol which is among the plurality of scan protocols and later than the already-executed scan protocols; and generating reference information related to controlling a scan protocol which is among the plurality of scan protocols and later than the already-executed scan protocols.
