Claim:
1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising: a calculation processing unit configured to generate an imaging sequence formed by a start-up sequence for suppressing the oscillation of spins in a transient state by an RF pulse sequence of which flip angle φ(n) (n=1, 2, . . . , N; N being number of RF pulses in the RF pulse sequence) monotonically increases and an SSFP sequence for measuring echo signals in a steady state; and a measurement control unit configured to control measurement of the echo signals from an object to be examined on basis of the imaging sequence, wherein the RF pulse sequence is that of which the flip angle monotonically increases with offset, and wherein the n-th flip angle φ(n) in the RF pulse sequence is expressed by: where α is flip angle of the SSFP sequence.
