Method for processing magnetic resonance images and apparatus for processing magnetic resonance images

An apparatus for processing a magnetic resonance image, said magnetic resonance image comprising a plurality of slabs and each of the plurality of slabs including a plurality of slices, said apparatus comprising:

• an interpolation unit to carry out interpolation by using a slice away from a slab boundary in an original image, and substituting a slice having slab boundary artifacts existing in the slab boundary, to obtain an interpolated image;
• a first Fourier transform unit to carry out Fourier transform on said interpolated image to obtain first K-space data;
• a second Fourier transform unit to carry out Fourier transform on the original image to obtain second K-space data;
• a first merging unit to merge the first K-space data with the second K-space data, wherein a weight of the first K-space data is relatively greater than that of the second K-space data in a middle of the K-space, and a weight of the second K-space data is relatively greater than that of the first K-space data at the edge of the K-space;
• and
• a first inverse Fourier transform unit to carry out inverse Fourier transform on the merged K-space data.
