A burst wave 91 is applied as an RF magnetic filed in order to excite
nuclei of hydrogen, and also a oradient magnetic field 95 along a readout
direction is applied so as to excite magnetization in a stripe shape.
Thereafter, while a magnetization-inverting RF magnetic field pulse 92 for
selecting a slice is applied and a readout gradient magnetic field 96 is
applied, a signal 97 is measured. At this time, a time instant when a spin
echo is produced is made different from a time instant when a gradient
magnetic field echo is produced, so that a phase rotation made by a
chemical shift may be reflected on to a signal. The MR signal 97 is
processed by a 2-dimensional Fourier-transform, and a phase distribution
is calculated from both a real part and an imaginary part of complex data
after the 2-dimensional Fourier-transform. Then, this calculated phase
distribution is converted into a temperature change so as to display the
temperature change. A temperature change in a diseased portion in
connection with IVMR can be monitored in real time.
