Abstract: A technology is provided for enabling accurate understanding of a movement of a region that affects imaging, particularly, processing corresponding to a sudden or non-steady movement. A body movement information processing device receives a signal from a measuring device that measures movement information of a subject disposed in an imaging device, and processes the movement information of the subject. Therefore, the body movement of the subject is calculated using the signal from the measuring device. In that case, a calculation technique of discriminating between a periodic movement and a non-steady movement of the subject is used. The non-steady movement of the subject is extracted from the calculated body movement by using a mask for selecting a spatial region of a movement of the subject.

Abstract: A technology is provided for stably synthesizing a blood vessel image while suppressing a decrease in brightness of a blood vessel in a case of synthesizing the blood vessel image. Optimization of an imaging parameter set for quantitative value map calculation is performed by adding at least one condition in which there is no decrease in brightness of a blood vessel in a region where no blood vessel is depicted in either an original image or a quantitative value image.

Abstract: The present invention is to perform appropriate noise reduction processing on an image having different signal levels or noise levels depending on an imaging condition or a reconstruction condition. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to the invention includes: a measurement unit that receives a nuclear magnetic resonance signal generated in a subject by a receiving coil; an image reconstruction unit that processes the nuclear magnetic resonance signal received by the receiving coil and reconstructs an image of the subject; an SNR spatial distribution calculation unit that calculates spatial distribution of a signal-to-noise ratio of the image using spatial distribution of a noise level and spatial distribution of the signal of the image; and a noise reduction unit that reduces noise from the image based on the spatial distribution of the signal-to-noise ratio.
