The effects of prior pulses are to be enhanced. A pulse string which monotonically decreases the flip angle is inserted between the prior pulse in one round and the imaging pulse in the previous round, and a pulse string which monotonically increases the flip angle is inserted between the prior pulse and the imaging pulse in one round. A return from the steady state to the equilibrium state can be achieved not only for on-resonance magnetization but also for off-resonance magnetization before the prior pulse is applied. Therefore, the effects of the prior pulse P can be fully attained. Further, not only on-resonance magnetization but also off-resonance magnetization can be brought close to the steady state before the imaging pulse is applied.
