Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes sequence controlling circuitry and processing circuitry. The sequence controlling circuitry is configured to acquire k-space data by executing a pulse sequence while performing undersampling. The processing circuitry is configured to generate an output target image by generating a folded image by applying a Fourier transform to the k-space data and further unfolding the folded image by performing a process that uses a regularization term. The processing circuitry applies a weight to the regularization term on the basis of whether or not each of the pixels in the output target image is included in an observation target region.
