Zusammenfassung:A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus (100) includes a sequence control unit (120) and assigning unit (136). In CEST imaging the sequence control unit (120) performs a first sequence and a second sequence under different saturation pulse conditions. The first sequence is for acquiring first magnetic resonance signals corresponding to a first frequency region of a k-space and second magnetic resonance signals corresponding to a second frequency region of the k-space. The second sequence is for acquiring third magnetic resonance signals corresponding to at least the first frequency region. The assigning unit (136) assigns the third magnetic resonance signals and the second magnetic resonance signals to a single k-space generated for the second sequence. Frequency including the first frequency region is lower than frequency including the second frequency region.
