MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS AND SCANNING-CONDITION SETTING METHOD
According to a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) apparatus, a scanning-parameter limit calculating unit creates examination information that represents scanning conditions for collection of magnetic resonance signal data based on scanning parameters set by an operator; a scanning-condition edit/scan positioning unit creates a time chart that indicates the type and a sequential execution order of an event to be executed when collecting magnetic resonance signal data based on the examination information created by the scanning-parameter limit calculating unit, and causes a time-chart display unit to display the created time chart.
1 . A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:
a processor that:
creates examination information that represents a scanning condition for collection of data indicating an inside of a subject, based on a value of a scanning parameter set by an operator; and
creates and causes a display to display a time chart that indicates a type and a sequential execution order of an event to be executed when performing the collection of data, based on the created examination information,
wherein the processor conducts display of information indicating a position of collected data in a k-space together with display of the time chart.
2 . A scanning-condition setting method of a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, comprising:
creating examination information that represents a scanning condition for collection of data indicating an inside of a subject based on a value of a scanning parameter set by an operator; and
creating and causing a display to display a time chart indicating a type and a sequential execution order of an event to be executed when performing the collection of data, based on the created examination information.
wherein the causing the display to display the time cart comprises conducting display of information indicating a position of collected data in a k-space together with display of the time chart.
