Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to embodiments includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry configured to acquire layout information which defines a layout of cross-sectional images on a localizer screen, to detect cross-sectional positions of the cross-sectional images from MR data, and to generate the localizer screen according to the layout information, the localizer screen including all or a part of the plurality of cross-sectional images generated on the basis of the plurality of cross-sectional positions.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry generates a plurality of cross-sectional images for setting a sectional position to be collected in main imaging based on a characteristic portion of a target detected in three-dimensional data. The processing circuitry lists the cross-sectional images on a display and superimposes a mark corresponding to the characteristic portion on at least one of the cross-sectional images. The processing circuitry receives a setting operation to determine the sectional position. The processing circuitry causes, when the mark is selected in the setting operation, a cross-sectional image to be emphasized a sectional position of which is defined using the characteristic portion corresponding to the mark among the listed cross-sectional images. The processing circuitry performs main imaging based on the sectional position after the setting operation.

Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. By using image data of a subject acquired by performing a first imaging process, the processing circuitry is configured to detect a first region including at least a part of a first site, the first site and a second site having a symmetrical relationship with each other in the subject.
