Patent number: 11927655Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry sets a pulse sequence to collect plural echo signals by application of a refocusing pulse more than once after application of an excitation pulse once, and collects data on plural slices that are parallel to each other by executing the pulse sequence more than once. The processing circuitry sets the pulse sequence such that a slice thickness for the refocusing pulse becomes larger than a slice thickness for the excitation pulse, and collects the data on the plural slices by executing the pulse sequence without consecutively collecting data on adjacent ones of the plural slices.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: CANON MEDICAL SYSTEMS CORPORATIONInventors: Hiroki Kondo, Masaaki Umeda, Masanori Ozaki
