Abstract: An object of the present invention is to suppress artifacts generated by correction of spectral distortion induced by eddy currents in MRI devices with a simple method, and thereby improve accuracy of the correction. In the eddy current correction processing for correcting spectral distortion caused by an eddy current using phase values of FID signals of a substance showing higher signal intensities compared with a metabolite as an object of measurement, phase jumps of the phase values used for the correction are corrected beforehand. In the correction of the phase jumps, small phase change amount points are identified by using primary time differential values of the phase values, and the other points are identified as a phase jump generation region. Then, the primary time differential values corresponding to the identified phase jump generation regions are excluded.
