Abstract

An apparatus for removing wraparound artifacts without degrading image quality of an image includes a phase correcting section for conducting phase correction processing on received signals in an actual scan based on a reference signal as a corrective signal received by one of a plurality of receive coils, for example, by a receive coil, without applying a gradient magnetic field Gp in a phase encoding direction, and an unfolding section for removing wraparound artifacts in an image based on the signals received by the plurality of receive coils in the actual scan and subjected to the phase correction processing by the phase correcting section, and on the difference in sensitivity distribution among the plurality of receive coils, so that the phase correction processing is conducted while preserving the relative phase relationship among the coils, and unfolding processing (removal processing) is conducted using the result of such phase correction processing.
