PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simultaneously perform thermotherapy to a subject and temperature measurement based on magnetic resonance signals.SOLUTION: In this magnetic resonance diagnostic apparatus, a high-frequency transmission coil transmits high-frequency electromagnetic waves of magnetic resonant frequency to the subject, and a heating coil performs heating by irradiating the subject with high-frequency electromagnetic waves of frequency different from the magnetic resonant frequency. A measuring section measures, based on the magnetic resonance signals, the temperature of the subject varied by the high-frequency electromagnetic waves emitted by the heating coil, and a control section controls so that the temperature is measured by the measuring section while heating is performed by the heating coil by carrying out transmission of the high-frequency electromagnetic waves by the high-frequency transmission coil and application of high-frequency electromagnetic waves by the heating coil in parallel.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】被検体への加温治療と磁気共鳴信号に基づいた温度測定とを同時に行うことを目的とする。【解決手段】実施形態に係る磁気共鳴診断装置において、高周波送信コイルは、被検体へ磁気共鳴周波数の高周波電磁波を送信する。加温コイルは、被検体へ磁気共鳴周波数とは異なる周波数の高周波電磁波を照射し加温を行う。測定部は、磁気共鳴信号に基づいて、加温コイルによって照射された高周波電磁波により変化した被検体の温度を測定する。制御部は、高周波送信コイルによる高周波電磁波の送信と加温コイルによる高周波電磁波の照射とを並行して行い、加温コイルによる加温中、測定部による温度の測定が行われるように制御する。【選択図】図1
