Patent ID: 11598835

Abstract:
To provide a technique with which a FLAIR image and a T1-weighted image can be acquired in a short scan time, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprises: an RF driver unit 121 for driving an RF coil unit 103; a gradient coil driver unit 122 for driving a gradient coil unit 102; and a controller unit 124 connected to the RF coil driver unit 121 and gradient coil driver unit 122, for controlling them so that an imaging sequence ISc having a duration of 1TR for generating echoes from a body part being imaged is repetitively executed, where the imaging sequence ISc has a first sequence part SQ1 including an inversion pulse 11 and an FSE sequence 12, and a second sequence part SQ2 including an inversion pulse 21 and a GRE sequence 22.
