MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS WITH SEGMENTED DATA ACQUISTION

To provide an imaging technique suitable for acquiring an image with reduced artifacts due to differences in signal intensity. An MR apparatus 100 acquires, in data acquisition periods A1, A2, and A3, data at part of grid points lying closer to a high-frequency region RH within a low-frequency region RL, and data at part of grid points lying closer to the low-frequency region RL within the high-frequency region RH. On the other hand, in a data acquisition period B, it acquires data at another part of grid points lying closer to the high-frequency region RH within the low-frequency region RL, and data at another part of grid points lying closer to the low-frequency region RL within the high-frequency region RH.
