Abstract
In magnetic resonance imaging, prepared first is a three-dimensional image data consisting of a plurality of tomographic image data of a diagnostic portion of an object being examined. Then, data of a pilot image in the three-dimensional image data are designated, and the pilot image is displayed. Then, a linear ROI (region of interest) is placed on the displayed pilot image. Then, image data of a cross-section are edited from the three-dimensional image data, the cross-section passing through the linear ROI in a space of the three-dimensional image data. On the basis of the edited image data of the cross-section, a prediction image for scan is displayed.
