Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging method and a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus are provided, which can obtain a high-quality image at high speed without obstructions, such as an artifact by a distribution of a magnetic susceptibility and a myoneural stimulus by an eddy current using only radio frequency magnetic field (rotating magnetic field) gradients so as to obtain positional information.

Abstract: Signal components of different physiological origins are accurately separated and information about each component is provided, even when a signal change related to local neuronal activity and signal fluctuations related to other physiological origins coexist. It is achieved by a method for separating and extracting information on physiological functions, wherein a mathematical model is built to describe an input/output relationship for functional measurement data on a pixel or channel basis, and information on signal components of various physiological origins is separated and extracted from the functional measurement data.
