  • Patent number: 10909729
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a first calculated image and a second calculated image through calculation using data obtained through an imaging in which magnetic resonance signals used for deriving a tissue quantitative value are acquired, wherein a signal value of a tissue other than a suppression-target tissue which is a target to be suppressed is low on the second calculated image as compared to the first calculated image. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a difference image between the first calculated image and second calculated image so as to generate an image on which a signal value of a tissue with a long relaxation time is suppressed.

  • Patent number: 10769823
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processing circuitry. The processing circuitry obtains an MR image acquired by a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and related to a brain. The processing circuitry divides a region of the brain in the MR image, into plural regions. The processing circuitry sets a parameter value used in generation of a calculated image generated by synthetic MRI and related to the brain, such that a relation of contrast among regions included in the plural regions becomes a predetermined relation. The processing circuitry generates the calculated image by the synthetic MRI, by using the MR image and the parameter value.
