Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging method includes the steps of setting a repetition time in accordance with an intensity of an encoding gradient magnetic field, applying a gradient magnetic field for a slice, the set encoding gradient magnetic field, a readout gradient magnetic field, and RF pulses to a subject in a predetermined sequence of the set repetition time, measuring nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals inside the subject in a full encode range with a first repetition time, continuously measuring, at least one time, NMR signals in a first range containing a zero encoding quantity and sandwiched between two predetermined intensities of the encoding gradient magnetic field with a repetition time which is different from the first repetition time, and reconstructing an image by combining the measured NMR signals with one another.
