  • Publication number: 20240077566
    Abstract: An MRI apparatus 1 includes sequence control circuitry 29 and processing circuitry 51. The sequence control circuitry 29 performs stack-of-stars data acquisition on an imaging region of a subject to acquire time-series k-space data. The processing circuitry 51 divides time-series k-space data into groups relating to a time direction, and calculates for each of the groups a motion feature amount of the imaging region based on k-space data of a k-space central portion. The processing circuitry 51 corrects for each of the groups the k-space data based on the motion feature amount and generates the corrected k-space data. The processing circuitry 51 reconstructs an MR image relating to the imaging region based on the corrected k-space data relating to the groups.
