Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus captures a morphology image and a function image that are captured with respect to an equal imaging region of an object under examination. Processing for deforming the morphology image is performed using a deformation parameter and moving positions of structural objects included in the morphology image to respective positions of structural objects of a previously determined standard morphology. Then, the function image is deformed using a value of the deformation parameter used in deforming the morphology image to cause a position of a region included in the function image to coincide with a position of a corresponding region of the standard morphology or by using the standard morphology in an opposite direction using the value of the deformation parameter to cause a position of a region of the structural object thereof to coincide with a position of a corresponding region included in the function image.
