ABSTRACT:
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes: a sensitivity map database that stores sensitivity map data of a multi-coil including plural coils necessary for parallel imaging unfolding processing; a data slicing unit that slices partial data from three-dimensional volume data collected for the respective coils by parallel imaging, respectively; an intermediate image reconstructing unit that executes reconstruction processing for the partial data to thereby reconstruct intermediate images for the respective coils; and a reference image generating unit that slices sensitivity map data corresponding to the intermediate images from the sensitivity map database as sensitivity map data for unfolding processing, executes the parallel imaging unfolding processing for the intermediate images using the sensitivity map data for unfolding processing, and generates reference images.
