Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes a display, an input interface, and processing circuitry. The display displays at least a locator image and a reference image. The input interface sets a region of interest on the locator image displayed on the display. The processing circuitry scans a subject to obtain three dimensional data, generates a locator image from the three dimensional data and displaying the locator image on the display, generates a reference image corresponding to the location of the region of interest and displaying the reference image on the display, and makes, when a size or position of the region of interest on one of the locator image and the reference image is changed by the input interface, adjustments to correspondingly change the display magnification or position of the other one of the locator image and the reference image.
