Abstract

In an image acquired by a plurality of receiver coils with the use of MRI, separated images are obtained by separating spatially overlapping signals according to PI method, and noise in the separated images is eliminated with a high degree of precision. A complex image spatially overlapping is measured from nuclear magnetic resonance signals received by a plurality of receiver coils, and spatially overlapping signals are separated and a plurality of separated images are calculated, by using sensitivity information of the plurality of receiver coils. Then, noise is eliminated based on a correlation of noise mixed between the separated images.
