Abstract
For the purpose of suppressing degradation in visibility of an image by a missing line due to the subject motion, the step of selectively exciting a linear region with intersecting 90° and 180° pulses and applying an MPG pulse to collect data is repeated with the linear region shifted; whether the acquired data for each line is affected by the subject motion is detected; and if the data is affected by the subject motion, interpolated data is employed in place of the data.
