Abstract: In MRI using an SE-based pulse sequence, an object is to suppress flow artifacts and acquire a flow artifact-free image regardless a velocity or a direction of blood flow. A pair of gradient magnetic field pulses are applied before and after a 180-degree pulse of the SE-based pulse sequence, and a plurality of times of imaging are performed using varying intensities of the pair of gradient magnetic field pulses. Image reconstruction is performed by performing a Fourier transformation on measurement data obtained through the plurality of times of imaging in an axial direction of the intensities of the gradient magnetic field pulses, that is, a velocity encoding direction. As a result, images can be separated for each velocity of a stationary tissue and a non-stationary component included in tissues, and an image of spins with a velocity of zero, that is, a flow artifact-free image of the stationary tissue, can be obtained.

Abstract: Preventing blood flow artifacts from being increased in an imaging plane allows reduction of the blood flow artifacts in the cross section subsequently excited. In the imaging using a spin-echo (SE) pulse sequence, an excitation width of a 90° pulse is extended from an imaging plane to one side. This one side indicates a downstream side of the blood flow with respect to a vessel of interest. In imaging multiple slices, the order of measuring the multiple imaging slices is set along the direction in which the width is extended.

Abstract: Generation of artifacts caused by the FID signal is suppressed even when the parallel imaging is applied to the imaging using a spin echo type pulse sequence. In performing a pulse sequence of a spin echo type using an excitation RF pulse for exciting nuclear spin and an inversion RF pulse for inverting excited nuclear spin as a high-frequency magnetic field pulse, a high-frequency transmitter of a MRI apparatus changes the phase of the inversion RF pulse according to the phase encoding and the phase encoding number imparted for each echo signal. Specifically, the phase of the inversion RF pulse is controlled to be a quadratic function of the phase encode of the echo signal.
