| 1. A magnetic resonance diagnosing apparatus comprising:
a generating unit which generates a plurality of MRI slice images of an object for an imaging region;
a determining unit which determines a plurality of designated slice regions for MR spectroscopy (MRS) within the imaging region
including the movement of a designated slice region as required to make an MRI slice image voxel position coincide with an
MRI slice image position; and
a measurement unit which measures a magnetic resonance spectrum of the object for each of voxels set on the plurality of designated
slice regions still contained within said MRI slice imaging region.
