To fix a joint portion of a patient for imaging the joint portion being bent, a joint fixing apparatus for a magnetic resonance image (MRI) system includes: a moving mechanism for bending the joint portion; and a non-magnetic driving mechanism for supplying a driving force to the moving mechanism. Further, an MRI joint imaging system for obtaining a magnetic resonance image of a joint portion of a patient by bending the joint portion includes: a moving mechanism having a fixing base for fixing the joint portion and for bending the joint portion; a non-magnetic driving mechanism for supplying a driving force to the moving mechanism; an imaging unit for imaging the joint portion; and a controller for controlling the driving mechanism and the imaging mechanism so that the bending motion of the joint portion by the driving mechanism, and the image of the joint portion by the imaging unit, can be timed with each other.
