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 data 503 caused 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.
