Abstract:
1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus configured to transmit radio-frequency (RF) pulses to a subject in a magnetostatic space, configured to execute an imaging sequence in which magnetic resonance signals generated in the subject are obtained as imaging data by transmitting gradient pulses to the subject to whom the RF pulses have been transmitted, and configured to generate an image of the subject on the basis of the imaging data obtained by the execution of the imaging sequence, said magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising: a scanning device comprising a magnet unit and a gradient coil unit, said scanning device configured to execute said imaging sequence and configured to execute, before the execution of said imaging sequence, a preparation sequence in which preparation pulses are transmitted to the subject, wherein said preparation pulses comprise, in sequence: a control unit communicatively coupled to said scanning device and configured to control said scanning device to perform said preparation sequence.
