When performing imaging in synchronization with a biological movement of
an examinee by using a pulse sequence applying a pre-saturation pulse, it
is possible to reduce irregularities of echo signal intensity and
artifact on the image generated by the irregularities. Especially, it is
possible to prevent artifact attributed to blood in the ventricle when
performing delay contrast imaging. For this, before measuring the echo
signal, an IR pulse or the like for adjusting magnetization to a desired
state is applied so as to suppress irregularities of the echo signal
intensity and prevent artifact.
