The MRI apparatus includes a processor configured to apply a gradient echo pulse sequence that makes a sum of gradients applied during one repetition time (TR) in a slice selection direction, a phase encoding direction, and a frequency encoding direction equal zero and maintains spins in an object in a steady state; alternately apply, while the gradient echo pulse sequence is continuously applied, a first radio frequency (RF) pulse having a first flip angle and a second RF pulse having a second flip angle that is different from the first flip angle at each TR interval; and generate an MR image based on an echo signal acquired when the spins are in the steady state.
