Abstract

In one embodiment, an MRI apparatus includes: a scanner that includes a static magnetic field magnet, a gradient coil, and a WB coil; and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to: cause the scanner to image, under a first imaging method, a tissue including a perfusion route of body fluid that removes waste products of the object the body fluid including neurofluid; generate an anatomical image of the tissue from first data acquired by imaging under the first imaging method; cause the scanner to image perfusion behavior of the body fluid in real time under a second imaging method using non-contrast perfusion imaging; generate a perfusion image indicating the perfusion behavior of the body fluid from second data acquired by imaging under the second imaging method; and generate a fused image by combining the anatomical image and the perfusion image.
