ABSTRACT:
The invention is intended to obtain optimal shim values even if slice planes are slanted with respect to the system-inherent coordinate system. The section for setting a plane for calculating shim values sets planes perpendicular to and a plane parallel with a slice plane in a system of coordinates x′, y′, and z′ perpendicular to the slice plane. The section for calculating shim values obtains shim values with regard to this slice plane in this coordinate system, based on data acquired by the data acquiring section. The coordinates converting section converts the thus obtained shim values to shim values in the system-inherent x-y-z coordinate system of the MRI apparatus.
