1. A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus comprising:
- a movement unit which moves a subject placed in a static magnetic field;
a collector which collects data corresponding to a magnetic resonance signal emitted from the subject;
a detector which detects a position of a particular section of the subject in the static magnetic field;
a reconstruction unit which reconstructs an image, based on the collected data, when the detected position falls within an allowable area; and
a controller which controls the movement unit to compensate for a deviation of the detected position from a reference position.
