PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To compensate in case a subject moves between a sensitivity distribution measurement and a principal measurement, when obtaining sensitivity distribution data for the RF reception coil used in a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and correcting the brightness of the subjects image based on the data obtained.SOLUTION: The measurement (S302) of a subjects position is executed in a CPU of a control part of the magnetic resonance imaging apparatus immediately before or during both the sensitivity distribution measurement (S301) and the principal measurement (S305), so as to measure (S303) the displacement quantity associated with the subjects movements. The movement and deformation processing (S304) of image data for use of the sensitivity distribution measurement is executed based on this displacement quantity, followed by the sensitivity correction processing (S306) of principal measurement image data, and the resulting image is displayed (S307) on a display.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】磁気共鳴イメージング装置のRF受信コイルに関する感度分布データを取得し、それに基づいた画像輝度補正を行う際に、感度分布計測および本計測間で被検体が動いた場合の補償を行う。【解決手段】磁気共鳴イメージング装置の制御部のCPUにおいて、感度分布計測(S301)の直前または最中と、本計測(S305)の直前または最中に被検体位置計測(S302)を行うことにより、被検体の動きに伴う変移量の計測(S303)を行い、その変位量に基づいて感度分布計測用の画像データを移動・変形処理(S304)した後、本計測画像データの感度補正処理(S306)を行い、その結果をディスプレイに画像表示する(S307)。【選択図】図3A
