ABSTRACT:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a blood flow velocity acquiring unit that acquires a flow velocity of the blood flow of an object, a capturing condition setting unit that, on the basis of the flow velocity of the blood flow acquired by the blood flow velocity acquiring unit, sets at least one of a transmitting phase of a transmitted exciting pulse, a transmitting phase of a refocusing pulse, a shift amount of the relative phase difference between the transmitted exciting phase and the refocusing pulse, and an intensity of a gradient pulse in a readout direction as a capturing condition, and a blood flow image capturing unit that creates a blood flow image of the object by performing an imaging scan on the basis of the capturing condition set by the capturing condition setting unit.
