A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus and a method of controlling the MRI apparatus are provided. The MRI apparatus includes a signal transceiver configured to transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal to an object, and receive a magnetic resonance (MR) signal from the object. The MRI apparatus further includes a controller configured to control the signal transceiver based on sequence information that is used according to an imaging protocol, determine a degree at which the object is able to move based on the sequence information, to generate operation information, and control a device connected to the MRI apparatus to provide the operation information. In one embodiment, noting that object motion during the acquisition of central k-space data results in higher motion artefact power than object motion during the acquisition of peripheral k-space data, the invention proposes to display an image which induces a concentration of the object during the acquisition of the central k-space data, thereby reducing the degree of object motion during the acquisition of the central k-space data. |
