The present invention provides a magnetic resonance imaging system capable
of performing spectrum measurement even when a magnetic resonant
frequency changes during MRS measurement. A time-varying rate of a water
magnetic resonant frequency is measured in advance before the MRS
measurement. The amount of change in water magnetic resonant frequency
during the MRS measurement is predicted from the measured time-varying
rate. With the predicted value as the reference, a transmission frequency
of an RF magnetic field irradiated in a signal suppression pulse
sequence, a transmission frequency of an RF magnetic field for excitation
and inversion and a received frequency at the detection of a magnetic
resonance signal in a sequence of the MRS measurement are respectively
set. A high-precision spectrum measurement is hence enabled.
