Claim:
1. A method of generating a magnetic resonance image by using a multi-coil including a plurality of coils, the method comprising: generating a virtual composite coil as a combined corresponding to the plurality of coils, based on coil characteristics of the plurality of coils, respectively, wherein the virtual composite coil has an increased signal to noise ratio (SNR) as compared to SNRs of the plurality of coils; generating composite data corresponding to the virtual composite coil from data sets acquired from the plurality of coils, respectively, the generated composite data having reduced noise, as compared to that of the data sets, due to the increased SNR of the virtual composite coil; generating first interpolation data by interpolating the composite data; filtering the first interpolation data in a plurality of frequency bands, to generate filtered data sets corresponding to the plurality of frequency bands, respectively; and generating the magnetic resonance image from the filtered data sets.
