Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus disclosed by this invention has a magnet assembly including a static magnetic field coil, a gradient magnetic field coil, an excitation coil, and a detection coil. A magnetic resonance signal detected by the detection coil is subjected to image reconstructing processing to obtain an image. The excitation coil can generate an exciting radio frequency pulse magnetic field for causing magnetic resonance excitation of a plurality of regions of an object to be examined simultaneously. Such an exciting radio frequency pulse magnetic field is formed by a mixed carrier having a plurality of carriers of different center frequencies.
