Abstract
In order to provide a technique for improving image quality by selectively exciting only a target region with high precision in either of a two-dimensional spatial selective excitation method or a three-dimensional spatial selective excitation method, selecting a k-space trajectory restraining excitation in a non-target region by side lobes is received. At this time, an excitation region of the selected k-space trajectory is presented to an operator, and the operator can adjust the excitation region through the display. After the adjustment of the excitation region by the operator is reflected, a multi-dimensional spatial selective excitation pulse is stabilized.
