An automatic analysis apparatus and an automatic analysis method analysis that includes an optical convergence point adjusting unit in order to variably adjust an optical convergence point of irradiation light or an optical convergence point of detection light to or from a reaction cuvette in accordance with at least one of analysis conditions of a kind of reaction of a mixed solution contained in the reaction cuvette, a liquid volume of the mixed solution or a measurement wave length. The optical convergence point adjusting unit is provided in front the reaction cuvette, in back of the reaction cuvette, or both in order to variably control the position of an optical convergence point so as to maximize the irradiation light based on the volume of the mixed solution in the reaction cuvette. By variably controlling the convergence point of the optical convergence point adjusting unit based on each of the examination items, both measurements of a turbidimetric assay and a spectrophotometric assay can be performed in a single automatic analysis apparatus with good accuracy and precision.

A nuclear magnetic resonance imaging capable of controlling a generation of a desired pulse sequence to be used interactively, realizing the adjustment of the pulse sequence easily and accurately, and realizing the high speed pulse sequence execution. The pulse sequence is automatically generated from a basic pulse sequence form and a parameter block storing the imaging parameters affected by the imaging conditions specified interactively. The pulse sequence is then automatically adjusted to an optimum setting by simulating an execution of the pulse sequence by using simulated RF pulses, gradient magnetic fields, static magnetic field, and nuclear spin density distribution, according to the characteristic parameters measured in advance. In the actual execution of the pulse sequence, the event codes stored in the event memory of the sequence controller are decoded by a plurality of decoders in parallel, and the rewriting of the event memory is realized by using a rewriting table having entries specifying a manner of rewriting each slot of each entry in the event memory, and flags in the event memory indicating an appropriate rewriting table entry for each slot.

According to one embodiment, an automatic analyzer comprises a light source, a spectroscope, a photo detection unit, a storage unit, a selection unit, and a calculation unit. The storage unit stores photo detector identifiers related to photo detectors and wavelength band identifiers in association with each other. The selection unit selects a specific photo detector from photo detectors. The specific photo detector corresponds to a specific photo detector identifier associated with a wavelength band identifier of a wavelength band according to a measurement item of a sample. The calculation unit calculates an absorbance related to the measurement item based on a signal from the selected specific photo detector.
