Abstract: An method according to an embodiment divides k-space data into a k-space central segment and a k-space peripheral segment by segment. The method acquires the k-space central segment in a first time interval and acquires the k-space peripheral segment in a second time interval different from the first time interval. The method reconstructs an MR (Magnetic Resonance) image from k-space data obtained by combining data on the acquired k-space central segment and data on the acquired k-space peripheral segment. Furthermore, the first time interval includes a plurality of cardiac cycles. The k-space central segment is repeatedly acquired over the cardiac cycles. As a central segment of k-space data used to reconstruct the MR image, data in a cardiac cycle less affected by an arrhythmia among the cardiac cycles is selected.

Abstract: Provided are a vehicle, a vehicle monitoring server, a vehicle monitoring system, and a vehicle monitoring method, that can be suitably used in a configuration whereby the vehicle and the vehicle monitoring server communicate in relation to a travel caution region. A first control device in the vehicle sends an entry notification signal to the vehicle monitoring server prior to entry into a travel caution region, if the travel caution region is included in a target route or a target track. The first control device may also send a passage completed signal to the vehicle monitoring server after passing through the travel caution region. A second control device in the vehicle monitoring server performs an error output if, after receiving an entry notification signal from a specified vehicle, a passage completed signal has not been received by a second prescribed point in time.

Abstract: Provided are a traveling control apparatus, a vehicle, and a traveling control method in which appropriateness of a user target destination can be taken into consideration. A vehicle target destination calculation unit sets a vehicle target destination where a vehicle is to be stopped, on the basis of a user target destination inputted by a user via a target destination input unit. Further, in the case where it is determined, on the basis of information about the road of the user target destination, that the user target destination is an inappropriate stopping point which is on the road but is unsuitable for stopping the vehicle, the vehicle target destination calculation unit sets an appropriate stopping point off track from the user target destination as a vehicle target destination.

Abstract: Provided are a traveling control apparatus, a vehicle, and a traveling control method in which appropriateness of a user target destination can be taken into consideration. A traveling control apparatus acquires vicinity environment information from a vicinity environment detection unit. In addition, the traveling control apparatus determines whether or not a user target destination is appropriate for stopping a vehicle, on the basis of the vicinity environment information regarding the user target destination. Further, in the case where it is determined that the user target destination is not appropriate for stopping a vehicle, the traveling control apparatus stops a vehicle at a corrected target destination off track from the user target destination.
