Abstract:
1. A magnetic resonance imaging method for moving a test object in a stepwise manner among multiple stations and taking images of different areas of the test object on the respective stations, so as to acquire an image of a wide range of the test object, comprising, a slice imaging setting step for performing a slice imaging setting by arranging a positioning frame of a slice for each of the stations, using a positioning image that is previously acquired and includes the wide range, an imaging step for performing imaging in each of the stations based on the slice imaging setting of each of the stations, and a synthesizing step for synthesizing a test object image of the wide range by using a nuclear magnetic signal obtained by the imaging step, wherein, in the slice imaging setting step, the positioning frame being arranged is adjusted according to how to place the test object.
