Abstract
Blood streams different in direction can be selectively depicted, and a blood vessel image (MRA image) which has an excellent blood vessel contrast and in which a background signal is suppressed is obtained. Therefore, the present invention sets a pre-saturation area (pre-saturation area) in an area containing at least a part of an imaging area and performs imaging in a blood vessel imaging operation using a pre-saturation pulse for pre-exciting spins.
