As for the control means which control the image pickup expedient which does the image pickup due to magnetic resonance in the suffering inspection body which is placed in the image pickup space and the portable expedient which makes the suffering inspection body move, in order difference of position of the portable expedient in the point in time when order of image pickup halt is accepted and position of portable expedient of the point in time when image pickup is reopened (migration length) on the basis of, originating in difference, to compensate missing the data 503 which it occurs, it controls the position or image pickup position of portable expedient when reopening. Because of this, image pickup halt function is had, when halt function is operated even, there is a consistency of the data of after the halt and the reopening, the MRI device which can obtain the good quality picture is offered.撮像空間に置かれた被検体に磁気共鳴による撮像を行なう撮像手段と被検体を移動させる移動手段とを制御する制御手段は、撮像一時停止の指令を受け付けた時点における移動手段の位置と撮像を再開した時点の移動手段の位置との差(移動距離)をもとに、差に起因して生じるデータ503の欠落を補償するように再開時の移動手段の位置或いは撮像位置を制御する。これにより、撮像の一時停止機能を備え、一時停止機能を動作させた場合にも一時停止と再開後のデータの整合性があり、良質な画像を得ることができるMRI装置が提供される。
