According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus is provided. A first imaging unit captures a plurality of first image data including first and second reference frames. The frames include a reference position and a target region in an object. A movement amount calculation unit calculates a movement amount of a local position between the first and second reference frames. A correction parameter setting unit sets a first correction parameter for correcting body motion of the object, based on the movement amount. An error map generating unit generates a predictive error map including a pixel value corresponding to a predictive correction error. The predictive correction error is obtained from a predictive position based on the movement amount and a predictive correction position based on the first correction parameter. A display unit displays the predictive error map and the first image data.
