Abstract

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus selects a partial region of a slice in a subject with a radio frequency magnetic field and generates echo signals only from the partial region. The echo signals are collected from the subject by using an ultra-high speed data acquisition technique. An image of a partial region is reconstructed from the echo signals.
