In a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus according to an embodiment, an array coil is structured by arranging a plurality of coil elements each of which receives a magnetic resonance signal generated from a subject. An acquisition controlling unit acquires the magnetic resonance signals while changing a position to be selected and excited within the subject who has the array coil attached thereon. A large-area image generating unit generates a large-area image of the subject, based on the magnetic resonance signals acquired by the acquisition controlling unit. A position measuring unit measures positions of the coil elements, based on strengths of the magnetic resonance signals used for generating the large-area image and positions of the couchtop corresponding to the times when the magnetic resonance signals were acquired. |
