ABSTRACT:
An RF receiving means, which comprise respective at least three RF receiving coils (203, 201(or202),204), (205, 202(or201),206), (207, 201(or202),208) disposed in at least two orthogonal directions (x, y, z), are set to a patient209, any one direction (x) of the two directions is set as a phase encoding direction, magnetic resonance signals are measured by executing a pulse sequence while thinning phase encoding steps, and the aliasing of an image is eliminated by an arithmetic operation executed using the magnetic resonance signals measured by at least the three RF receiving coils (205, 202(or201),206) disposed in the thus set phase encoding direction and using the sensitivity distributions of the respective RF receiving coils.
