Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging method according to an embodiment includes performing a balanced SSFP sequence, repeatedly applies an excitation RF pulse to a subject at intervals of a repetition time and applies gradient magnetic field pulses balanced such that a time integral becomes zero within each interval of the repetition time, while further applying a spin labeling gradient magnetic field for generating one or more continuous spin labels within each interval of the repetition time.
