Abstract
An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) apparatus includes a main scan executing unit for executing a main scan, an image reconstruction unit for reconstructing image data based on MR signals acquired in the main scan, a calibration scan setting unit, a calibration scan executing unit, and a condition determining unit. The calibration scan setting unit calculates a condition of a calibration scan for determining an imaging condition of the main scan or a condition of correction processing of the image data, based on a type of an RF coil device and an imaging part. The calibration scan executing unit executes the calibration scan based on the condition of the calibration scan. The condition determining unit determines the imaging condition of the main scan or the condition of the correction processing, based on an execution result of the calibration scan.
