An MRI apparatus includes an imaging means being provided with a means for
generating magnetic fields respectively of a static magnetic field, a
gradient magnetic field, and an RF magnetic field, and a means for
receiving an echo signal generated from a subject, the imaging means
being for measuring echo data associated with at least one measurement
trajectory in k-space, while varying angles with respect to a coordinate
axis in the k-space of the measurement trajectory, so as to collect at
least one measured data for each of the angles; and an image
reconstruction means for rearranging the measured data in the k-space and
reconstructing an image; wherein, the image reconstruction means
calculates a phase for correction based on standard data selected from
the measured data for each of the angles, prior to rearranging the
measured data in the k-space, and performs a phase correction as to the
measured data, by using the phase for correction being calculated. With
the procedure above, it is possible to reduce an artifact caused by the
nonlinearity of the gradient magnetic field and/or inhomogeneities of the
magnetic field, without extending the imaging time.
