Abstract:
1. In a measuring method in a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus which repeatedly measures an object to be examined by utilizing a nuclear magnetic resonance phenomenon, the method comprising: a region setting step of setting, in a measuring space of the object ( a preceding measuring step of combining the essential measurement region with a selected divided portion of the plural divided portions of the divided measurement region to measure a nuclear magnetic resonance signal from the object as data of the measuring space; a data generating step of combining the essential measurement region with the divided portion having not been selected in the preceding measuring step to measure a nuclear magnetic resonance signal from the object as data of the measuring space; sequentially combining the essential measurement region with the divided portion having not been measured in a preceding measuring step to measure a nuclear magnetic resonance signal from the object; supplementing the data of the essential measurement region and the data of the divided portion thus measured with the data of the divided portion measured in the preceding measuring step to generate data of the measuring space; and a step of generating an image of the object based on the measuring space generated in the data generating step.
