Abstract
A system for acquiring an image in which deterioration of vascular signals due to improved water-fat swap is provided. The system includes a magnetic resonance imaging device, which receives an out-of-phase signal and in-phase signal from an imaging site including a blood vessel. The system also includes a processor that processes a digital signal including data representing the out-of-phase signal and in-phase signal. The processor executes an operation including: generating a water image Wa based on the digital signal; and adding a signal intensity |I| of the out-of-phase signal and a signal intensity of the in-phase signal to the water image Wa to generate a vascular image representing the blood vessel.
