Abstract

In one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes: a gantry including at least an RF (Radio Frequency) coil and a gradient coil, wherein the RF coil receives MR (Magnetic Resonance) signals from an object when an RF signal from the RF coil and a gradient magnetic field from the gradient coil are applied to the object in a main scan; processing circuitry configured to reconstruct image data of a plurality of images of the object based on the MR signals, and generate display image data from the reconstructed image data, wherein the display image data is generated such that display images are observed from a unified observational direction, regardless of a case where cross-sectional directions vary; and a display configured to display the display images observed from the unified observational direction based on the display image data.
