Patent ID: 8633694

Claim:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus, comprising: a data collection unit configured to collect magnetic resonance data from a patient by a half Fourier method using a plurality of coils; a first data processing unit configured to fill data in an unsampled region of the magnetic resonance data obtained from the plurality of coils by using homodyne filtering while performing reconstruction processing using a Fourier transformation, and to generate a plurality of folded image data corresponding to each of the plurality of coils; an unfolding unit configured to perform an unfolding process on the plurality of folded image data by using sensitivity data of the plurality of coils; and a second data processing unit configured to repeat, after the unfolding processing, an improving process plural times for improving accuracy of the data filled by the first data processing unit, and to generate image data for display, the improving process including at least further homodyne filtering.
