Embodiment Construction

[0034] Hereinafter, embodiments of the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In addition, the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus is called "MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) apparatus" below.

[0035] First, the configuration of the MRI apparatus in Example 1 will be described. figure 1 It is a figure for explaining the structure of the MRI apparatus in Example 1. Such as figure 1 As shown, the MRI apparatus 100 in Embodiment 1 has a static magnetic field magnet 1, a gradient magnetic field coil (coil) 2, a gradient magnetic field power supply 3, a bed 4, a bed control unit 5, a transmitting coil 6, a transmitting unit 7, a receiving coil 8, A receiving unit 9 , a sequence control unit 10 and a computer system (system) 20 .

[0036] The static field magnet 1 is a magnet formed in a hollow cylindrical shape, and generates a uniform static magnetic field in an internal space. As the static field magnet 1, for exam...

Abstract

The invention relates to a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and a magnetic resonance imaging method, facilitating arrangement of the phase coding direction of a plurality of image pickup areas. In one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an input unit and a direction setting unit. The input unit receives a setting operation to set a plurality of image taking regions within a position determining image, from an operator of the apparatus. The direction setting unit sets phase encoding directions for the plurality of image taking regions to be in the same direction as one another, regardless of setting operations performed by the operator via the input unit 24.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is based on and claims priority from prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-019525 filed on January 29, 2010 and prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-006061 filed on January 14, 2011, which The entire content of the patent application is incorporated in this application. technical field [0003] Embodiments relate to a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and a magnetic resonance imaging (imaging) method. Background technique [0004] A magnetic resonance imaging device (hereinafter, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) device) is a device that uses the magnetic resonance phenomenon to image the inside of a subject. Headed by most of the medical behavior plays an important role. [0005] For example, when performing spine diagnosis such as hernia, MRI images are captured on a plurality of parallel slice planes along the spine. In addition, a plurality of parallel slice planes is called a slab....
