POSITIONING METHOD FOR MR IMAGING DEVICE

PURPOSE:To facilitate a positioning operation for regular photographing by changing the position of a cross section of a living body to be photographed, while executing photographing, at the time of photographing the cross section of the living body and displaying an image automatically and repeatedly at an interval set in advance. CONSTITUTION:A positioning image 17 photographed in advance is displayed on a display device in advance. By a positioning device, it is displayed by a slice line 18 for showing a position for executing photographing onto the positioning image 17. This slice line 18 can execute a rotation vertically and to the left and the right or deformation by operating the positioning device. When photographing is started, photographing is executed by determining a cross section position for executing the photographing in accordance with a position of the slice line 18. After the photographing, it is converted to an image by an NMR signal detected by a receiving equipment, and it is displayed in the part in which there is no hindrance for executing the positioning by the positioning image 17 and the slice line 18 of a display device. Also, by repeating the photographing, an arbitrary cross section of a living body can be photographed. When the repeated photographing is finished, regular photographing is executed by position information of a photographed image 19 and an image 20 is obtained.
