Claim Text:
1. An imaging method for obtaining a medical image by a medical imaging apparatus, the imaging method comprising: obtaining image frames based on k-space data which is acquired from an imaging region of an object and includes complex data values; generating a composite image by using the image frames; compensating the composite image by using one image frame, of the image frames, and boundary values corresponding to image signals included in the composite image; and obtaining the medical image by using the compensated composite image, wherein the boundary values include a maximum value and a minimum value of the image signals included in the composite image, and the compensating the composite image includes adjusting values of the image signals of the composite image based on the maximum value and the minimum value of the image signals such that the values of the image signals of the composite image contain only positive values.
