(Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram schematically showing an MRI apparatus of a first embodiment to which the medical data input system of the present invention is applied.

The MRI apparatus of the first embodiment has a gantry sequencer 2 for performing MRI imaging of a subject on a gantry 1, and this gantry sequencer 2 is under the control of a system controller 3 which is the control center of the entire system. The magnetic field generation timing of the gradient magnetic field coil of the pedestal 1, the transmission/reception timing of the RF coil, etc. are sequentially operated. and,
When the execution data for the sequence operation described above is created by the input information processing section 4, the system controller 3 can take in this execution data and use the gantry sequencer 2 to execute the sequence operation of the gantry 1. Note that when the MR multiplied signal is collected by the system controller 3 during the sequence operation on the gantry 1, the M
The MRI image can be reconstructed based on the R-times signal and the MHI image can be displayed on the display 7 of the console 5.

On the other hand, the input of photographing conditions to the input information processing section 4 can be achieved by means of a driver 6 provided in the console 5. That is, in the console 5, the reader 6 can directly read the imaging conditions written in the imaging request form as shown in FIG. 2, and transfers data indicating the read imaging conditions to the input information processing section 4. It is made to be.

Therefore, simply by having the reader directly read the imaging conditions written in the imaging request form, the input information processing unit 4 creates execution data for the sequence operation of performing MR1 imaging of the subject on the gantry 1. Therefore, the operator does not have to input the shooting conditions again through dialogue.
