Abstract:
In one embodiment, an MRI apparatus includes: a scanner for acquiring MR signals from an imaging region in which substances having different magnetic resonance frequencies are included; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: calculate phase correction data, which includes information on phase rotation amount due to non-uniformity of a static magnetic field, from MR signals; generate an image by using the phase correction data and the MR signals such that a signal from at least one of the substances in the imaging region is suppressed in the image; and perform decimation processing on first phase correction data to generate second phase correction data, based on information related to a component ratio of the plurality of substances in the imaging region and a plurality of MR signals, wherein resolution of the second phase correction data is lower than the first phase correction data.
