ABSTRACT:
An NMR imaging apparatus and method for direct Fourier imaging. This apparatus includes a static magnetic field generator, gradient magnetic field generators, high-frequency magnetic field generator, signal detecting detector for detecting a nuclear magnetic resonance signal from a body to be inspected, a computer for performing an arithmetic operation for the detected signal to obtain the nuclear magnetic resonance intensity distribution in the to-be-inspected body from measured values of the nuclear magnetic resonance intensity distribution at various points on a rectangular coordinate system in the Fourier space, and memories used for correction. In the imaging apparatus, that distortion of image data obtained by calculation from the detected signal which is caused by the deviation of the intensity of the static magnetic field from a predetermined value or the deviation of the intensity of a gradient magnetic field from a predetermined, linearly-varying intensity, is corrected by those measured values with respect to the above deviation of magnetic field intensity which are previously in the memory, and corrected image data is displayed on a display device.
