Image generating apparatus, image generation method, and nontransitory computer-readable storage medium storing therein image generation program

An image generation method comprising:

• acquiring magnetic resonance data acquired in a plurality of read-out trajectory directions including a first read-out direction and a second read-out direction intersecting the first read-out direction, a plurality of filter sensitivity distributions corresponding to the read-out trajectory directions and indicating distributions of sensitivity of a low-pass filter, and a plurality of coil sensitivity distributions corresponding to a plurality of coil elements used to acquire the magnetic resonance data;
• generating synthesis sensitivity distributions for the respective read-out trajectory directions by synthesizing the filter sensitivity distributions and the coil sensitivity distributions for the respective read-out trajectory directions;
• and
• generating a magnetic resonance image based on the synthesis sensitivity distributions and the magnetic resonance data.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing therein an image generation program comprising instructions that cause a computer to execute:
