Abstract
For the purpose of preventing development of motion artifacts and improving image quality, a first displacement Nof the diaphragm before a scanning sectionperforms an imaging sequence and a second displacement Nof the diaphragm after the scanning sectionhas performed the imaging sequence are detected by a body motion detecting sectionas displacement caused by respiratory motion of a subject. Thereafter, based on the first displacement Nand second displacement Nof the diaphragm detected by the body motion detecting section, imaging data is selected as raw data by a raw data selecting sectionThen, based on the imaging data selected as raw data by the raw data selecting sectiona slice image of the subject is produced by an image producing section
