Abstract

See full text

A method for correcting distortion of a reconstructed image caused by non-uniformity of a static magnetic field in an NMR imaging apparatus, wherein the non-uniformity of a three-dimensional static magnetic field is measured, and the measurement data is stored in the form of a matrix having a size smaller than the size of a matrix used in image reconstruction; then, data on a two-dimensional plane, corresponding to a slice plane of the reconstruction image, is taken out from the matrix, and based on that data, a distortion correcting table is produced and is enlarged to agree with the size of the matrix used in image reconstruction, so that distortion of the reconstructed image is corrected using the enlarged distortion correcting table.
