Abstract:
Plural blood vessels different in blood flow velocity are depicted with high image quality in blood vessel imaging using PC-MRA method. For this purpose, the present invention performs a measurement of an echo signal based on application of a positive-polarity flow encode pulse and a measurement of an echo signal based on application of a negative-polarity flow encode pulse on an examinee with each of plural phase encodes while varying the flow encode, and a blood vessel image of the examinee is reconstructed by using the plural echo signals having different flow encode absolute values.
