摘要:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus executes scans for executing a navigator sequence for acquiring as navigator data a magnetic resonance signal from a navigator area containing tissues body-moved in a subject and executing an imaging sequence for acquiring a magnetic resonance signal from an imaging area as imaging data at the subject, thereby to generate an image with respect to the imaging area. The magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes, a phase profile generating part which generates a phase profile so as to show a relationship between a phase of the navigator data and a position of the navigator area, a phase correcting part which corrects folding back of the phase profile generated by the phase profile generating part, and a position detecting part which detects a position of a tissue body-moved in the navigator area, based on the phase profile corrected by the phase correcting part.

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a scan section for executing a navigator sequence which transmits an RF pulse to a subject to obtain each magnetic resonance signal as navigator data. Upon execution of the navigator sequence, the scan section excites both a navigator area having two regions from which intensities of different navigator data signals are obtained, said two regions containing a body-moved region of the subject, and a region different from the two regions simultaneously, and transmits the RF pulse in such a manner that the phase of navigator data obtained from the different region differs from the phase of at least one region of navigator data obtained from the two regions.

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a first navigator data processor that generates a first phase profile based on first navigator data acquired by executing a first navigator sequence, generates a position profile indicative of a relationship between a plurality of region positions and time at which the first navigator sequence is executed, and detects a specific position in the position profile. A second navigator data processor generates a second phase profile based on second navigator data acquired by executing a second navigator sequence, detects the position of each region with respect to each second phase profile within a reference range set so as to contain the specific position, based on each second phase profile, and acquires the same as its corresponding position data.

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a scan execution unit configured to execute a regular scan in which a navigator sequence for generating a magnetic resonance signal in a navigator area containing a region of interest moving with a biological movement of a subject and an imaging sequence for generating a magnetic resonance signal in an imaging area of the subject are carried out, and a signal processing unit configured to detect a position of a region of interest based on a magnetic resonance signal generated by a navigator sequence in the regular scan and to generate an image based on the detected position and the magnetic resonance signal generated by the imaging sequence. The signal processing unit is configured to generate an intensity profile with respect to the magnetic resonance signal generated by a navigator sequence in the pre-scan and received at each of the coil elements, determine the gradient polarity of the profile line corresponding to the high-signal substance in the predetermined direction in the generated intensity profile, and to select a coil element that received a magnetic resonance signal of the intensity profile highest in maximum signal intensity among the intensity profiles the gradient polarity of which was determined to face upward. The position of the region of interest is detected based on a magnetic resonance signal generated by a navigator sequence in the regular scan and received at the selected coil element.
