Abstract

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes a processing circuitry. Regarding the k-space data obtained as a result of performing multi-shot imaging that includes a plurality of shots, the processing circuitry obtains a correction coefficient, based on first-type magnetic resonance images generated using the k-space data, the correction coefficient correcting phase shifting occurring in read out direction among the plurality of shots. Then, the processing circuitry corrects the k-space data based on the correction coefficients. Moreover, the processing circuitry generates a second-type magnetic resonance image using the corrected k-space data.
