A magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a magnet assembly; a base disposed adjacent to the magnet assembly; a seating member on which an object is to be seated and configured to be rotatably disposed on the base; and an elastic assembly configured to elastically support the seating member on the base to compensate for a load of the object. The elastic assembly includes: an elastic unit having a first end connected to the seating member and configured to generate an elastic force; and a control device disposed on the base and configured to guide a second end opposite to the first end of the elastic unit to adjust an angle between the seating member and the elastic unit.
