Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are provided for reconstructing a plurality of magnetic resonance (MR) images of an object. The method includes synthesizing first MR images of the object to generate a synthesized first MR image, acquiring a k-space data set of the synthesized first MR image, and determining a weighting coefficient representing a relationship between the acquired k-space data set and a k-space data set of a respective one of the first MR images, for each of the first MR images. The method further includes obtaining a multi-band MR image of the object by applying a multi-band radio frequency signal to the object, and reconstructing second MR images from the obtained multi-band MR image, based on the determined weighting coefficient for each of the first MR images.
