Claim One:
1. A method for generating a reconstructed magnetic resonance image of an object, said method comprising: acquiring full FOV images from multiple RF receivers to calculate noise covariances among multiple RF receivers and to calculate coil sensitivities for multiple RF receivers; acquiring sub-FOV images from multiple RF receivers for sub-FOV images from multiple RF receivers; unfolding images for individual RF receivers given the noise covariances among RF receivers and the coil sensitivity of individual RF receivers; and combining unfolded images from individual RF receivers to generate FOV reconstructed magnetic resonance images; characterized in that said method further comprises: calculating full FOV reference images as prior information of the reconstruction image; estimating a given regularization parameter to constrain a solution image within a predetermined extent from the prior information; and obtaining the reconstructed magnetic resonance image using Tikhonov regularization with the optimal regularization parameter.
