Abstract
In MR imaging using a multi-coil device, multifrequency interpolation is combined with a convolution such as BOSCO to achieve simultaneous parallel reconstruction and off-resonance correction. The unaliased and deblurred image is calculated for each coil, and the final image is formed from the images for all of the coils.
