Abstract
A MR simulation apparatus according to an embodiment includes an input interface, central processing circuitry, and numerical processing circuitry. The input interface inputs a subsequence, being to be a subject of a simulation of a MR phenomenon, of a MR pulse sequence; and a plurality of isochromats having a same Bo shift at different positions corresponding to subvoxels which are segments of each of voxels related to the simulation of a MR phenomenon. The central processing circuitry determines, based on the subsequence, two or more isochromats exhibiting equivalent MR phenomenal behaviors as equivalent isochromats from the plurality of isochromats. The numerical processing circuitry collectively simulates MR phenomenal behaviors of the equivalent isochromats due to the subsequence by the same computation.
