Claim One:
1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising: means for generating a static magnetic field; means for generating an RF pulse to be applied to a subject that is placed in the static magnetic field; means for generating a magnetic field gradient that is superimposed on the static magnetic field; a table member for installing the subject; first imaging means for acquiring multiple morphological images respectively according to multiples positions in the longitudinal direction of the table member; second imaging means for acquiring multiple functional images respectively corresponding to multiple positions in the longitudinal direction of the table member; correction means for calculating brightness distortion corrective information and positional distortion corrective information of the morphological images, and for correcting brightness distortion and positional distortion of the functional images, by using the brightness distortion corrective information and the positional distortion corrective information of the morphological images, respectively; display means for displaying the functional image being corrected; and control means for controlling the first imaging means, the second imaging means, and the correction means.
