PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus that can prevent an imaging time from being greatly increased during a breath-hold period.SOLUTION: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an input-output device 72, magnetic field generators 32, 34 for generating a static magnetic field and a gradient magnetic field, a high frequency magnetic field pulse generating device 42, an image generation apparatus 62 for generating an image based on an NMR signal, and a control device 60. The control device 60 generates a first imaging sequence for controlling an imaging operation performed in a breath-hold period based on the imaging conditions, executes imaging according to the first imaging sequence generated, and stores imaging failure information for identifying the imaging when an imaging failure occurs upon execution of the imaging in accordance with the first imaging sequence. The control device 60 generates a second imaging sequence based on the stored imaging failure information for performing re-imaging to the imaging failure, and executes the second imaging sequence after the execution completion of the first imaging sequence.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】息止め期間中の撮像時間の大幅な増加を抑制できる磁気共鳴イメージング装置を提供する。【解決手段】入出力装置72と、静磁場および傾斜磁場を発生する磁場発生装置32,34と、高周波磁場パルス発生装置42と、NMR信号に基づいて画像を生成する画像生成装置62と、制御装置60と、を備え、前記制御装置60は、息止め期間内に行う撮像動作を制御するための第1撮像シーケンスを前記撮像条件に基づいて生成し、生成した第1撮像シーケンスに従って撮像を実行し、前記第1撮像シーケンスに従った撮像の実行時に撮像不具合が発生するとその撮像を特定する撮像不具合情報を記憶し、前記制御装置60は、前記撮像不具合に対する再撮像を行うために、記憶された前記撮像不具合情報に基づいて第2撮像シーケンスを生成し、前記第1撮像シーケンスの実行終了後、前記第2撮像シーケンスを実行する。【選択図】図1
