Abstract: An magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus and a method of obtaining a magnetic resonance (MR) image are provided. The MRI apparatus includes a processor that obtains k-space data including information on a high frequency region and a low frequency region, and corresponding to a first echo time within a single repetition time (TR), obtains second k-space data including information on at least a part of the low frequency region and corresponding to a second echo time within the single TR, and generating a plurality of reconstructed images having different contrasts based on the first k-space data and the second k-space data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for acquiring a magnetic resonance (MR) signal are provided. The method includes: applying one radio frequency (RF) excitation pulse to a region of interest that has undergone a frequency shift by injecting a contrast agent into an object; acquiring a plurality of echo signals at a plurality of different echo times based on phase differences among water, fat, and the region of interest; and separating, based on the acquired plurality of echo signals, MR signals respectively originating from the water, the fat, and the region of interest.
