Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes a controller and a generator. The controller divides a plurality of slice regions that are sequentially arranged into a first group including two non-sequential slice regions and a second group including a slice region positioned between the two non-sequential slice regions and acquires data from the slice regions for each of the groups. When acquiring data from at least one of the two non-sequential slice regions, the controller acquires the data after applying a pre-sat pulse to a position between the two non-sequential slice regions. When acquiring data from the slice region positioned between the two non-sequential slice regions, the controller acquires the data after applying a pre-sat pulse to a position of at least one of the two non-sequential slice regions.
