Abstract
According to an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) apparatus, a Region Of Interest (ROI) setting unit included in a control unit sets an ROI on each of a Tweighted image, a Tweighted image, and a flair image of a brain of a subject; and a feature-analysis processing unit creates a histogram of statistics with respect to each of a plurality of images based on pixel values of pixels included in the ROI set by the ROI setting unit. A display control unit then causes a display unit to display the images in the substantially same position in a display area included in the display unit by switching the images in a certain order, and to display the histogram created by the feature-analysis processing unit in the same display area.
