Abstract
Generation of artifacts caused by the FID signal is suppressed even when the parallel imaging is applied to the imaging using a spin echo type pulse sequence. In performing a pulse sequence of a spin echo type using an excitation RF pulse for exciting nuclear spin and an inversion RF pulse for inverting excited nuclear spin as a high-frequency magnetic field pulse, a high-frequency transmitter of a MRI apparatus changes the phase of the inversion RF pulse according to the phase encoding and the phase encoding number imparted for each echo signal. Specifically, the phase of the inversion RF pulse is controlled to be a quadratic function of the phase encode of the echo signal.
