1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus configured to generate an arterial spin labeling (ASL) image, using a 3D balanced steady-state free precession (bSSFP) sequence, the apparatus comprising:

  • a signal transceiver;

    a sequence controller configured to control the signal transceiver to;

    apply an RF pulse and a gradient magnetic field to a first portion of an object;

    wait for blood to flow from the first portion of the object to which the RF pulse and the gradient magnetic field are applied, to a second portion of the object;

    apply the RF pulse and the gradient magnetic field to the second portion of the object to which the blood flows, using the 3D bSSFP; and

    subsample first magnetic resonance data from the second portion of the object to which the RF pulse and the gradient magnetic field are applied; and

    an image processor configured to generate label image data based on the first magnetic resonance data.
