Abstract

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes a collecting unit and an identifying unit. The collecting unit collects at least one frequency spectrum out of a plurality of frequency spectra by performing a pre-scan in which a first substance is frequency-selectively suppressed or enhanced. The identifying unit analyzes the frequency spectra and identifies a resonance frequency of a second substance on the basis of analysis results.
