Method and apparatus for generating magnetic resonance image

Abstract

A magnetic resonance imaging method and a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus using a parallel image reconstruction are disclosed. Some embodiments provide a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus including a receiving coil configured to receive a magnetic resonance (MR) signal through a plurality of channels, and an image information acquisition unit configured to acquire k-space data for each channel by undersampling an MR signal received from the receiving coil, and to perform an inverse Fourier transform on the k-space data for each channel, to generate a hybrid-space for each channel, and an image processing unit configured to apply a parallel image reconstruction, while sliding a unitary window to channel-by-channel hybrid-space data, within an area corresponding to the unitary window, and thereby reconstruct missing data.
