Abstract

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment executes a first imaging prior to a second imaging and includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry receives, on a first image obtained from the first imaging, a setting of a region in which an RF (Radio Frequency) pulse is to be applied to a subject, generates a three-dimensional image based on the first image, determines, based on an imaging purpose of the second imaging, a translucent region to which translucent processing is to be performed in the three-dimensional image, and displays the translucent region, making the translucent region translucent in the three-dimensional image.
