An MRI apparatus performs an MRI while moving a patient table and includes a main magnet configured to generate a static magnetic field in a bore a gradient coil assembly configured to apply a gradient signal to the static magnetic field to generate a magnetic field gradient an RF coil assembly configured to apply an RF excitation signal and an RF refocusing signal and a controller configured to control the RF refocusing signal so that a slice to which the RF refocusing signal is to be applied conforms to the slice to which the RF excitation signal has been applied.
