Abstract
According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry calculates a static magnetic field correction amount based on a static magnetic field distribution of a first imaging range narrower than a second imaging range. The processing circuitry collects a magnetic resonance (MR) image of the second imaging range under a static magnetic field which is corrected based on the static magnetic field correction amount. The processing circuitry corrects distortion of the collected MR image.
