Provided are a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) apparatus and a method of processing an MR image. The MRI apparatus includes an MR signal receiver receiving an MR signal emitted from the object, and a processor configured to obtain k-space blades from the MR signal according to a periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPELLER) method, to obtain centroid data of the k-space blades, and to determine whether to reconstruct an MR image of the object.
