ABSTRACT:
A method of generating an MR image based on respective data obtained by n (≧2) coils, respective low resolution images are generated using partial data in a low frequency region for the data obtained by the n coils. The intensities and phases of the low resolution images are corrected. The post-correction images are added together to generate one composite low resolution image. Sensitivity maps of the respective coils are created from the composite low resolution image and the respective low resolution images. One image is generated from the respective data and the respective sensitivity maps.
