Abstract

During obtaining a sensitivity distribution in a k-space, data based on which the sensitivity distribution is obtained is expanded with a mirror image to create an expanded image to prevent spectrum leakage, and the sensitivity distribution is stably calculated. During obtaining the sensitivity distribution in the k-space, image data based on which the sensitivity distribution is obtained is inverted as a mirror image to be made into the expanded image, the expanded image is transformed into k-space data, and a frequency component (frequency space data) of the sensitivity distribution is calculated. A region corresponding to the original image data is clipped from the calculated frequency space data, and the sensitivity distribution is obtained.
