Ultrahigh speed magnetic resonance imaging equipment is capable of
predicting temporal and spatial operation of an object to be imaged and
significantly reducing the number of phase and frequency encodings,
thereby significantly increasing the imaging speed. An object (4) to be
imaged is placed in a static magnetic field (3) and a gradient magnetic
field and a radiofrequency wave are applied to the object in an x, y
and/or z direction in an orthogonal coordinates system. The equipment
includes means for collecting only phase and frequency encodings
optimized based on an estimate of motion of the object (4) to be imaged
and means for complementing unacquired data. By increasing the imaging
speed, as described above, the temporal resolution is improved and it is
possible to display a two-dimensional cross section and three-dimensional
internal structure of the object in motion as an image. As a result
imaging is possible even when the object (4) to be imaged is temporally
deformed or displaced.
