Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes sequence controlling circuitry and processing circuitry. The sequence controlling circuitry is configured to execute a first pulse sequence including application of a Magnetization Transfer (MT) pulse and to subsequently execute a second pulse sequence including application of an MT pulse after an action that causes a change in a physiological state of a patient. The processing circuitry is configured to generate a first Z-spectrum based on data obtained by executing the first pulse sequence, to generate a second Z-spectrum based on data obtained by executing the second pulse sequence, and to generate data by performing an analysis based on the first Z-spectrum and the second Z-spectrum.
