ABSTRACT:
A nuclear magnetic resonance imaging scheme suitable for an imaging of a physiological function information on a living body. The scheme uses a pulse sequence for realizing a first imaging scheme for obtaining the blood vessel image and a second imaging scheme for obtaining the physiological function image such as a brain function image by a single execution of the pulse sequence, where the first imaging scheme is executed before the second imaging scheme by controlling resolutions and imaging regions for the respective imaging schemes appropriately. The pulse sequence can also realize a third imaging scheme for obtaining the physical shape image, which is to be executed between the first imaging scheme and the second imaging scheme. The physiological function image can be obtained by selecting valid data from the image data acquired with/without stimulation or load by using the t-test, and determining active portions from the selected valid data by using the paired t-test. The physiological function image can then be displayed in superposition with the blood vessel image and/or the physical shape image.
