Abstract

See full text

For the purpose of reducing degradation of image quality due to attenuation of signal intensity, or satisfactorily rendering blood flow even when fast blood flow and slow blood flow are simultaneously present in an imaged region, an imaged region A is divided into a plurality of adjacent slabs; RF pulses are transmitted with a flip angle profile whose flip angle .alpha. varies with respect to the thickness direction in each of the slabs and whose average flip angle differs for each of the slabs, to collect NMR signals; and blood flow imaging is conducted based on the NMR signals.
