Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes sequence control circuitry. The sequence control circuitry executes a first pulse sequence that acquires data by radial sampling. The sequence control circuitry executes a second pulse sequence a plurality of times by changing a frequency of magnetization transfer (MT) pulses, the second pulse sequence acquiring data by Cartesian sampling after applying an MT pulse.
