1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:

  • a determining unit configured to, when a fluid traveling through a subject has been imaged for multiple times at different phases of the subject'"'"'s cardiac cycle at a first temporal resolution and the different phases cover a first period of the cardiac cycle, determine a second period of the cardiac cycle on a time axis within which further imaging of the fluid is to be performed at intervals satisfying a second temporal resolution; and

    an imaging unit configured to perform imaging of the fluid for multiple times at the second temporal resolution within the second period,wherein the imaging unit performs imaging multiple times within the first period at the first temporal resolution being below the second temporal resolution and the determining unit determines, on the basis of a plurality of images collected at the first temporal resolution, the second period being included in the first period.
