Abstract
According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry acquires a first resonance frequency distribution of a first tissue and a second resonance frequency distribution of a second tissue which is different from the first tissue. The processing circuitry calculates a center frequency of a frequency-selective pulse that suppresses or emphasizes either one of the first tissue and the second tissue in accordance with the first and second resonance frequency distributions. The processing circuitry collects a magnetic resonance signal after the frequency-selective pulse is applied at the calculated center frequency.
