ABSTRACT:
For the purpose of three-dimensionally imaging a selected three-dimensional region of a subject under examination on the basis of magnetic resonance phenomena exhibited by hydrogen atomic nuclei, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprises a unit for carrying out the contrast enhanced-fuirier acquiered steadystate technique (CE-FAST) extended to three dimensions, an image reconstruction unit for reconstructing a plurality of relatively thin slice images on the basis of echo signals from the three-dimensional region acquired by the unit, a weighting unit for weighting differently the plurality of relatively thin slice images obtained by the image reconstructing unit, an adding unit for adding slice images obtained by the weighting unit so as to produce a surface anatomy scan image of the three-dimensional region, and an image display unit for displaying the surface anatomy image obtained by the adding unit.
