PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus capable of reducing artifacts by respiratory movement while maintaining image contrast.SOLUTION: A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes an executing unit, an informing unit, a detecting unit, and a determining unit. The executing unit executes a pulse sequence to collect data of a subject at a constant cycle. The informing unit informs the subject of the timing of breathing in synchronization with the cycle at which the pulse sequence is executed. The detecting unit detects a breathing level or a respiratory cycle of the subject. The determining unit determines, when the pulse sequence is executed, whether to use the data collected by the pulse sequence for image reconstruction in accordance with the breathing level or the respiratory cycle of the subject. |
