Abstract: A scan condition determining apparatus determines scan conditions in a magnetic resonance imaging system. The scan condition determining apparatus includes: a setting unit for setting an imaging range, a desired spatial resolution and a desired SN ratio; and a determining unit for determining a matrix number in a frequency encode direction and a matrix number in a phase encode direction, based on the imaging range and the desired spatial resolution set by the setting unit and determining physical parameters different from the matrix number in a frequency encode direction and a matrix number in a phase encode direction, based on the determined matrix numbers, the set imaging range and the set desired SN ratio.

Abstract: A labeling area determining apparatus is provided. The labeling area determining apparatus includes a detecting device configured to detect a tilt of a head relative to a body axial direction of a subject to be imaged by an arterial spin labeling method, and a determining device configured to determine a tilt of a labeling area of spins relative to the body axial direction of the subject, based on the tilt of the head detected by the detecting device.

Abstract: A scan protocol adjusting apparatus includes a setting device which sets a scan protocol of a plurality of scans included in one examination, a designating device which designates a target value of examination time, and an adjusting device which adjusts the set scan protocol so that a prediction value of the examination time of the one examination becomes close to the target value of the examination time.
