A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a coil control device that
controls a transmission coil and a gradient coil such that (A) a
longitudinal magnetization adjustment pulse sequence for setting a
longitudinal magnetization component positive in value of a first body
fluid smaller than a longitudinal magnetization component positive in
value of a second body fluid is executed on the first and second body
fluids, (B) a longitudinal magnetization reverse pulse for reversing the
longitudinal magnetization components of the first and second body fluids
is transmitted, and (C) a data acquisition pulse sequence for acquiring
data of the first body fluid when an absolute value of the longitudinal
magnetization component of the first body fluid flowing through an
imaging area is larger than an absolute value of the longitudinal
magnetization component of the second body fluid, is executed.
