Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an interface, processing circuitry, and imaging control circuitry. The interface inputs, to a locator image, a position-indicating region indicating a position in a displayed cross section. The processing circuitry determines a collection direction relating to multi-slice imaging based on a static magnetic field distribution relating to the position-indicating region and the position-indicating region. The imaging control circuitry performs the multi-slice imaging in the collection direction to a plurality of slices in an imaging region which includes at least the position-indicating region.
