A scan condition determining apparatus determines scan conditions in a magnetic resonance imaging system. The scan condition determining apparatus includes: a setting unit for setting an imaging range, a desired spatial resolution and a desired SN ratio; and a determining unit for determining a matrix number in a frequency encode direction and a matrix number in a phase encode direction, based on the imaging range and the desired spatial resolution set by the setting unit and determining physical parameters different from the matrix number in a frequency encode direction and a matrix number in a phase encode direction, based on the determined matrix numbers, the set imaging range and the set desired SN ratio.

Scan condition determining device, magnetic resonance imaging system, scan condition determining method, and program

A labeling area determining apparatus is provided. The labeling area determining apparatus includes a detecting device configured to detect a tilt of a head relative to a body axial direction of a subject to be imaged by an arterial spin labeling method, and a determining device configured to determine a tilt of a labeling area of spins relative to the body axial direction of the subject, based on the tilt of the head detected by the detecting device.
