ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a magnetic resonance system and method of measuring continuous regions at high speed without decreasing SN. As a receive system, multiple RF coil sets a, b comprising multiple RF coils a1,a2,b1,b2are disposed in positions where there is no spatial interference with at least one of the RF coils of an adjacent coil set, the RF coils constituting each coil set are changed over one by one, sets of RF coils which do not interfere mutually are activated, and signals are simultaneously acquired from a number of regions equivalent to the number n of coil sets. Hence, if the number of coil sets is set to n, the measurement time can be shortened to 1
. Alternatively, the SN can be improved by √n times.
