1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:

  • a unit which generates a diffusion weighted image based on a magnetic resonance signal from an object;

    a unit which calculates an apparent diffusion coefficient based on the diffusion weighted image; and

    a processing unit which subjects the diffusion weighted image to a process of indicating a region having the apparent diffusion coefficient of less than a threshold value with a highlight in contrast with at least one other region of the diffusion weighted image.
