Magnetic resonance imaging apparatus and method of controlling the same

A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:

• an imaging unit that collects nuclear magnetic resonance signals of a subject;
• an image generation unit that reconstructs an image of the subject using k-space data consisting of the nuclear magnetic resonance signals collected by the imaging unit;
• a body movement processing unit that analyzes a body movement of the subject during imaging and that specifies body movement-affected data that is affected by the body movement of the subject among the k-space data;
• and
• a processor that controls the imaging unit and the image generation unit,
• wherein the processor determines whether to subject the body movement-affected data to body movement correction reconstruction or to re-measure the body movement-affected data according to a position of the body movement-affected data in a k-space and a number of data points being consecutive in a data arrangement direction of the k-space of the body movement-affected data, and, in a case where it is determined to re-measure at least a part of the body movement-affected data, the processor controls a way by which re-measurement is executed by the imaging unit.
