In an imaging method using k space low-frequency region data including a lot of useful information, in order to obtain an image with high quality without increasing measurement time by measuring a minimum required region in proper quantities, according to the present invention, pre-measurement is performed prior to main measurement, a rough shape of k space low-frequency region data is measured with respect to each signal reception channel, so as to be set as k space characteristics, and a range measured as a k space low-frequency region is specified in the measurement. The specified result is reflected in an imaging sequence, and thus k space low-frequency region data including useful information which can be used for a process is appropriately collected.
