ABSTRACT:
A control means controls an imaging means for taking an image of a test object by a magnetic resonance, the test object being placed in an imaging space, and a transfer means that moves the test object, and on the basis of a difference (moving distance) between a position of the transfer means at the time of receiving a command of pausing the imaging and a position of the transfer means at the time of resuming the imaging, the control means controls the position of the transfer means or the position for imaging at the time of resuming, in such a manner that missing of data503caused by the difference can be compensated. With this configuration, it is possible to provide an MRI apparatus that is provided with an imaging pause function, and even when the pause function is activated, there is data consistency between the data before the pausing and the data after the resuming, thereby obtaining a high quality image.
