Patent ID: 8476902

Claim:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising: a first imaging unit configured to capture a plurality of first image data including a first reference frame and a second reference frame, the frames each including a reference position and a target region in an object; a movement amount calculation unit configured to calculate a movement amount of a local position between the first reference frame and the second reference frame, the local position including the reference position and the target region; a correction parameter setting unit configured to set a first correction parameter for correcting body motion of the object, based on the movement amount; an error map generating unit configured to generate a predictive error map including a pixel value corresponding to a predictive correction error, wherein the predictive correction error is obtained from a predictive position and a predictive correction position, and wherein the predictive position is a position based on the movement amount and the predictive correction position is a position based on the first correction parameter; and a display unit which displays the predictive error map and the first image data.
