Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes a sequence controller and a storage unit. The sequence controller acquires magnetic resonance signals of a target imaging part including cerebrospinal fluid flowing therein of a subject in a condition where a supply of oxygen is receivable, at a plurality of time phases in an oxygen inhalation process of the subject. The storage unit stores therein the magnetic resonance signals acquired at the time phases.
