Abstract
A sequence control unit reconstructs image data by performing predetermined image reconstruction including data synthesis processing on a plurality of k-space data collected for each receiver channel. An inverse reconstructing unit creates k-space data synthesized from the K-space data by performing predetermined inverse reconstruction on the reconstructed image data. A data compressing unit compresses the k-space data, and stores the compressed k-space data into a k-space data storing unit.
Claims25
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:
- a data collecting unit that collects a plurality of first k-space data from an object by using nuclear magnetic resonance phenomenon;
