Magnetic resonance imaging apparatus

Abstract

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes a plurality of receiving coils, a couch, a conversion unit, a selection unit, and a reconstruction unit. The receiving coils receive magnetic resonance signals emitted from a subject. The couch includes coil ports connected to the respective receiving coils. The conversion unit is provided on the respective coil ports and converts the magnetic resonance signals that are output from the respective receiving coils to digital signals so as to generate pieces of magnetic resonance data. The selection unit selects pieces of magnetic resonance data to be used for reconstruction among the pieces of magnetic resonance data for the channels that have been output from the receiving coils and converted to the digital signals. The reconstruction unit reconstructs image data using the pieces of magnetic resonance data selected by the selection unit.
