Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes sequence controlling circuitry and processing circuitry. The sequence controlling circuitry is configured to execute (i) a first pulse sequence in which a spatially selective Inversion recovery (IR) pulse and a spatially non-selective IR pulse are applied, and subsequently an acquisition is performed and (ii) a second pulse sequence in which the spatially non-selective IR pulse is applied without applying the spatially selective IR pulse, and subsequently an acquisition is performed, while varying the first TI period, with respect to a plurality of first TI periods. The processing circuitry is configured to calculate a second TI period to be used in a third pulse sequence and a fourth pulse sequence, based on data obtained from the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence. The sequence controlling circuitry executes (iii) the third pulse sequence in which the spatially selective IR pulse and the spatially non-selective IR pulse are applied, and subsequently an acquisition is performed and (iv) the fourth pulse sequence in which the spatially non-selective IR pulse is applied without applying the spatially selective IR pulse, and subsequently an acquisition is performed. The processing circuitry generates a magnetic resonance image of an imaged region based on data obtained from the third pulse sequence and the fourth pulse sequence.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to perform an image generating process of generating a plurality of medical images on the basis of a plurality of imaging parameter groups, the plurality of imaging parameter groups being updated by adversarial learning. The processing circuitry is configured to perform a discriminating process of discriminating whether or not each of the plurality of medical images is a target image acquired by a first medical imaging apparatus in the adversarial learning. The processing circuitry is configured to output one of the imaging parameter groups used for generating the medical images in the image generating process when the adversarial learning has converged.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes sequence controlling circuitry and processing circuitry. The sequence controlling circuit executes, while a k-space is divided into a plurality of segments, a pulse sequence by which a tag pulse is applied and subsequently acquisition is performed. The processing circuit generates an image based on the pulse sequence executed by the sequence controlling circuit. The pulse sequence is a pulse sequence by which the acquisition is repeatedly performed at the center of the k-space. The sequence controlling circuit executes the pulse sequence, while changing the range to which the tag pulse is applied, for each of the plurality of segments.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires an echo signal generated for each of intervals of repetition time by applying an excitation pulse to a subject at the intervals of repetition time, and acquires data of a plurality of trajectories set for a k-space using the echo signals. The processing circuitry acquires a plurality of echo signals by setting echo time to lengths different between a plurality of periods of repetition time and acquires data of the same trajectory using the echo signals, and the echo time serves as time from application of the excitation pulse to generation of the echo signal.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a first resonance frequency distribution of a first tissue and a second resonance frequency distribution of a second tissue which is different from the first tissue. The processing circuitry calculates a center frequency of a frequency-selective pulse that suppresses or emphasizes either one of the first tissue and the second tissue in accordance with the first and second resonance frequency distributions. The processing circuitry collects a magnetic resonance signal after the frequency-selective pulse is applied at the calculated center frequency.
