Patent ID: 8207734

Claim:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising multiple receiver coils each having a sensitivity distribution data different from each other, a measurement control unit that performs measurement of data on trajectory of a k-space, at least a part of the trajectory being non-parallel to the axis of the k-space, and for obtaining a first k-space data for each receiver coil, and an image reconstructing unit that obtains a target image using the first k-space data and the sensitivity distribution data of each receiver coil by applying an operation based on parallel imaging, wherein the image reconstructing unit obtains a second k-space data by reallocating at least a part of the first k-space data on orthogonal grid points of the k-space, and obtains the target image by performing the operation based on parallel imaging using the second k-space data and the sensitivity distribution data of each receiver coil, and wherein the orthogonal grid points of the k-space, on which at least a part of the first k-space data is reallocated, corresponds to a field of view narrower than that of the target image.
