Abstract

See full text

According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a data acquiring unit and an image generating unit. The data acquiring unit is configured to acquire a signal train of magnetic resonance signals from an object by a spin echo method for applying a refocus pulse repeatedly following an excitation pulse with changing a flip angle of the refocus pulse. The image generating unit is configured to generate frames of image data having different contrasts, based on different portions of the signal train of the magnetic resonance signals.
