1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus which includes a slice position setting unit for setting a slice position to perform an actual imaging scan on a subject, and which generates the actual scanning image at the slice position of said subject set by said slice position setting unit based on magnetic resonance signals obtained from said subject by means of said actual imaging scan, comprising:

  • a preview scan initiator unit, for initiating a preview scan to scan the slice position set by said slice position setting unit prior to performing said actual imaging scan; and

    a preview image generator unit for generating a preview image at the slice position set by said slice position setting unit based on the magnetic resonance signals from said subject obtained by said preview scan initiated by said preview scan initiator unit.
