Abstract

See full text

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment includes an MRI system and a processing circuitry. The MRI system includes a receiving coil to receive a magnetic resonance signal. The processing circuitry is configured to generate an image based on the magnetic resonance signal, the image including a plurality of pixels; calculate a feature value corresponding to a signal value of the pixel; correct the feature values based on a sensitivity of the receiving coil; and reduce noise in the image based on distribution of the corrected feature values.
