Abstract:
In one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes memory circuitry configured to store a predetermined program; and processing circuitry configured, by executing the predetermined program, to set an FSE type pulse sequence in which an excitation pulse is followed by a plurality of refocusing pulses, the plurality of the refocusing being divided into at least a first pulse group subsequent to the excitation pulse and a second pulse group subsequent to the first pulse group, the first pulse group including refocusing pulses having a predetermined high flip angle, and the second pulse group including refocusing pulses having flip angles decreased from the predetermined high flip angle toward a flip angle of zero, and generate an image of an object from respective MR signals corresponding to the plurality of refocusing pulses acquired by applying the fast spin echo type pulse sequence to the object.

Claim (Index 16):
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:\n memory circuitry configured to store a predetermined program; and processing circuitry configured, by executing the predetermined program, to\n set a GRE (Gradient Echo) type pulse sequence in which a plurality of excitation pulses are sequentially applied, the plurality of excitation pulses being divided into at least a first pulse group and a second pulse group subsequent to the first pulse group in a predetermined period, the first pulse group including excitation pulses having a constant high flip angle, and the second pulse group including excitation pulses having flip angles decreased from the constant high flip angle toward a flip angle of zero, and \n generate an image of an object from respective MR signals corresponding to the plurality of excitation pulses acquired by applying the GRE type pulse sequence to the object.
