Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores processor-executable instructions that cause the processor to detect cross-sectional positions of a plurality of cross-sectional images to be acquired in an imaging scan from volume data; acquire the cross-sectional images in sequence based on the cross-sectional positions by executing the imaging scan; and after the first cross-sectional image is acquired in the imaging scan, generate a display image, and display the display image on a display, the display image being an image in which a cross-sectional position of a second cross-sectional image which is detected from the volume data is superimposed on the first cross-sectional image, the second cross-sectional image being a cross-sectional image before being acquired and intersecting with the first cross-sectional image.
