Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is configured to carry out sequential imaging, to acquire an actual SAR measurement value at a predetermined timing during the sequential imaging, and to update a subsequent predicted SAE value each time the actual SAR measurement value is acquired.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a medical image diagnostic apparatus includes a display and processing circuitry. The display displays a relationship diagram indicating a relationship between values which are respectively set for imaging parameters relating to an imaging condition of medical imaging. The processing circuitry updates the relationship diagram in accordance with a moving operation of a point corresponding to each of the values on the relationship diagram, or a change operation of the imaging condition. The processing circuitry changes the imaging condition before the moving operation or the change operation to an imaging condition which reflects the moving operation or the change operation.

Abstract: An MRI apparatus comprising: an imaging unit configured to carry out sequential imaging; an SAR acquisition unit configured to acquire an actual SAR measurement value at a predetermined timing during the sequential imaging; and a prediction unit configured to update a subsequent predicted SAE value each time the actual SAR measurement value is acquired.
