Abstract
There is provided a scan condition determining apparatus, comprising: setting means for setting values of a plurality of parameters different from a repetition time and different from a bandwidth; and determining means for determining a specific value of the bandwidth based on the set values of the plurality of parameters such that a repetition time determined as a longer one of a first period of time and a second period of time is minimized, the first period of time being a time taken to perform a pulse sequence in one cycle, and the second period of time being a time taken from the start of a pulse sequence in one cycle until a pulse sequence in a next cycle is ready to perform determined by the thermal design restrictions of a gradient coil.
