A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus for performing imaging slice plane of a plurality of different, Measurement of performing measurements to be placed in the k-space and the pre-pulse applying means for applying a pre-pulse which affects the magnetization of all the slice plane of the target object, an echo signal obtained by applying a phase encoding amount of one slice surface 1 and a control means for controlling the operation means, and said measuring means and said pre-pulse applying means, Said control means, All k of all the slices is varied in a predetermined order phase encoding amount, that the pre-pulse is applied after the first, for all the slice plane of the measurement object, and executes once each of the measurement according to a predetermined order and control means of the first control to repeat until filling the space, And a control means of the second to control the pre-pulse applying means to apply the pre-pulse every time the number of slices of the measurement object and the measurement of a different number multiples thereof is carried out, Control means of the first, to set the initial amount of phase encoding of each slice to perform the measurement of the low spatial frequency domain of k-space in the timing effect of the pre-pulse is large.複数の異なるスライス面の撮像を行う磁気共鳴イメージング装置であって、計測対象の全スライス面内の磁化に影響を与えるプリパルスを印加するプリパルス印加手段と、1のスライス面について1の位相エンコード量を付与して取得したエコー信号をk空間に配置する計測を行う計測手段と、前記プリパルス印加手段と前記計測手段との動作を制御する制御手段と、を備え、前記制御手段は、最初のプリパルス印加後に、前記計測対象の全スライス面について、予め定められた順序に従って前記計測をそれぞれ1回実行することを、位相エンコード量を予め定められた順序で変化させて全スライスの全k空間を充填するまで繰返すよう制御する第一の制御手段と、前記計測対象のスライス数およびその倍数と異なる回数の計測が行われる毎に前記プリパルスを印加するよう前記プリパルス印加手段を制御する第二の制御手段と、を備え、前記第一の制御手段は、前記プリパルスの効果が大きいタイミングでk空間の低空間周波数領域の計測を行うよう各スライスの初期位相エンコード量を設定する。
