For the purpose of improving contrast of an image, and hence, image
quality, a navigator sequence NS for acquiring navigator echo data is
performed before performing an imaging sequence IS each time, and a
displacement N of the diaphragm caused by respiratory motion is detected
based on the navigator echo data. Then, an imaging sequence IS for
acquiring imaging data in the imaged region is performed if the detected
displacement N caused by respiratory motion N of the subject falls within
an acceptance window AW. Thereafter, each of a plurality of sets of
imaging data acquired in the imaging sequence IS performed a plurality of
number of times is corrected using a correction factor corresponding to a
time interval between a first imaging sequence IS1 in which each set of
imaging data is acquired and a second imaging sequence IS2 performed
before the first imaging sequence IS1, and a slice image is produced from
the plurality of corrected sets of imaging data.
