ABSTRACT:
An object of the present invention is to obtain a composite image by a small computation amount and short process time in parallel imaging using three or more reception coils. By performing a scan using three or more reception coils and with reduced phase encoding steps, data of the reception coils is collected, and an image is generated from each of the data. A combination of images used for unfolding operation is selected from combinations of the images, and a composite image is obtained by operation using the selected combination of images and a square matrix of sensitivity coefficients of the corresponding reception coils.
