Abstract

The magnetic resonance imaging apparatus of an embodiment is provided with a data-collecting unit and an image-generating unit. From the subject, the data-collecting unit collects multiple magnetic resonance signals corresponding to a sampling region that is asymmetric in the wavenumber direction in the k-space with a data collection sequence having a first regularity and a data collection sequence having a second regularity that differs from the first regularity. The image-generating unit generates magnetic resonance image data by data-processing that comprises signal filling into the non-sampling region using k-space phase conjugate symmetry and image reconstruction processing based on the multiple magnetic resonance signals.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging) apparatus and a magnetic resonance imaging method. Background technique [0002] The MRI device is an image diagnostic device that magnetically excites the nuclear spins of the subject placed in a static magnetic field with a high-frequency (RF: radio frequency) signal of Larmor frequency. The resonance (MR: magnetic resonance) signal reconstructs the image. [0003] AFI (Asymmetric Fourier Imaging: Asymmetric Fourier Imaging) method is known as one of the imaging methods of the MRI apparatus. The AFI method is a method in which data is sampled so that it becomes asymmetrical in the wavenumber direction in k-space, and after phase correction is performed using the phase distribution estimated from the sampled own data, the image data is Do the refactoring. According to the AFI method, it is possible to generate image data equivalent to image...
