Abstract: Provided is a method for performing reconstruction and noise removal with high accuracy on various undersampling patterns including equidistant undersampling. An image processing unit that processes measurement data acquired by an MRI apparatus performs image reconstruction by using measurement data on respective channels measured in a predetermined undersampling pattern and sensitivity distributions of respective reception coils. At this time, denoising of a reconstructed image and a calculation for maintaining consistency between original measurement data and the measurement data on the respective channels created from denoised images are sequentially processed. Accordingly, image restoration and denoising with high accuracy are possible without depending on the undersampling pattern.
