IMAGE DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING APPARATUS, AND X-RAY CT APPARATUS

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically determine the timing when there is little movement of the heart without requiring special additional imaging or judgement by an operator. PSOLUTION: In a computer system 10 mounted in the MRI apparatus 100, a ventricle variation measuring part 17a measures the variation of the size of a ventricle in time within at least one heartbeat from the image of the heart of a subject P captured in each of a plurality of time phases, and an imaging condition setting part 17b specifies the time phase in which there is little movement of the heart based on the variation of the size of the ventricle measured by the ventricle variation measuring part 17a, and sets a condition for imaging based on the specified time phase.
