That is, the table is moved only in the longitudinal direction of the table, and the center position of the FOV (i) in the longitudinal direction is matched with the center position in the longitudinal direction of the static magnetic field of the MRI apparatus.
- Step 711 Prepare to perform offset imaging in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the table to capture FOV centered at a position different from the center of the static magnetic field. More specifically, for example, when one side of a rectangle representing FOV is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the table and the horizontal direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the table is the frequency encoding direction, As an amount to shift the reception frequency when the quadrature detector 16 detects the echo signal, the amount obtained by the following equation (2) is obtained as the frequency offset amount.

- Gx is the gradient magnetic field output value in the frequency encoding direction.
- the amount of shift of the reception phase when the quadrature detector 16 detects the echo signal is expressed by the following equation: Is obtained as an offset amount.
- ⁇ ⁇ ( ⁇ ) -2 ⁇ ⁇ ( ⁇ ⁇ ) ⁇ / ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ' ⁇ ⁇ (3)
- Equation (3) e is the phase encoding number, and My is the image matrix size in the phase encoding direction. That is, according to Equation (3), an amount proportional to the phase encode number is a phase offset amount for shifting the phase at the time of each echo signal detection.
- Offset photographing is performed using the amount obtained in step 711 as the frequency offset amount or the phase offset amount.
- offset shooting is performed in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the table, corresponding to the case where the FOV is different from the center of the static magnetic field.

- the example of the subject imaging line 303 shown in FIG. 11 is drawn independently of the initial position 302 of the table moving line, and is drawn by a key operation using the trackball or the mouse 23 or the keyboard 24.
- the subject imaging line may be either a straight line or a curved line, or a mixed line of a straight line and a curved line.
- the table 26 is continuously translated while keeping the orientation constant so that the subject imaging line 303 drawn in step 1002 passes through the center of the magnetic field, and imaging is continuously performed.
- a method of photographing in this step a method of photographing one slice at a position perpendicular to the central axis in the longitudinal direction of the table at each position where the table 26 is sent can be considered. [0055] (Step 1007)
- the whole image is reconstructed.
- the result is taken as the longitudinal direction (Y direction) of the table when each image is photographed and this.
- the entire image is created by placing it in a large space containing the subject and reformatting it horizontally with a cross section of any height. Like that.
- the table when the table is continuously moved and a wide range of the subject or the whole body is continuously photographed, only the line for photographing the subject is set on the image, and the subject is photographed. Since the table movement can be controlled so that it passes through the center of the static magnetic field of the line force device, the table positioning operation can be facilitated!
- the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
- a two-dimensional coronal section may be photographed, or in FIG. 4, three-dimensional volume data having a thickness in the Z-axis direction may be photographed.
- the present invention can also be applied to a tunnel-type horizontal magnetic field type MRI apparatus, and can also be applied to an open MRI apparatus suitable for moving a table two-dimensionally in the horizontal direction.
- the correlation between the coordinate system of the static magnetic field of the MRI apparatus and the position where the table is arranged need not be related to the origin of the static magnetic field of the MRI apparatus as a reference.
- Coordinates are related based on the position of the corner of the position or the center position of the imaging field of view of the first step so that the center of each FOV becomes the center of the static magnetic field when each FOV is imaged. It may be used for calculation of table movement for the purpose. Further, it is not always necessary to use a scanogram in order to detect how the subject is arranged obliquely. For example, it is possible to use only the data obtained by projecting the NMR signal in one direction, or to detect the direction in which the subject is placed by photographing the subject placed on the table with a camera.
