Abstract
Provided are a magnetic resonance (MR) image processing method and an MR image processing apparatus. The MR image processing apparatus includes: a signal transceiver that transmits or receives a signal to or from the heart; and an image processor that obtains a plurality of MR images of the heart by using the transmitted or received signal, determines at least one contour from each of the plurality of MR images; obtains first information about a first region formed by the at least one contour; and detects an apex MR image or a base MR image of the heart from among the plurality of MR images based on the first information, wherein a location of an apex or a base is automatically detected from a plurality of short-axis MR images of the heart.
