An MRI apparatus includes an imaging device that performs MR imaging in an SSFP pulse sequence in which a phase cycling method produces RF excitation, and a control device that causes the imaging device; to collect data regarding a plurality of frequency regions in k-space in the SSFP pulse sequence in a first phase series; to collect data regarding low frequency regions in k-space in the SSFP pulse sequence in a plurality of remaining phase series; to generate frequency data based on the collected data, substitute data into high and low frequency regions of the frequency data, reconstruct low space frequency images based on the low frequency regions to which substitute data is added, reconstruct high space frequency images based on the high frequency regions to which substitute data have been added and combine the low space frequency images and the high space frequency images multiplied by a scaling factor.
