Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry generates an image based on a magnetic resonance signal from a subject. The processing circuitry generates a susceptibility image representing magnetic susceptibility of the subject from a phase component contained in a plurality of pixels in the image. The processing circuitry generates an artifact component of the susceptibility image based on a frequency signal obtained by frequency transform of the susceptibility image. The processing circuitry generates an artifact component-removed susceptibility image by removing the artifact component from a susceptibility image generated based on the magnetic resonance signal.
