[Abstract] Left atrial appendage is an important ancillary structure of the left atrium, the evaluation of structure and function of LAA in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, interventional surgery is essential. Multimodal magnetic resonance imaging can display the structure of the left atrial appendage and quantitatively measure the functional parameters. And it is increasingly used in evaluating the structure and function of the left atrial appendage. In this paper, the recent progresses of MRI in the study of LAA, including MRI parameters, anatomical structure and function, LAA thrombus and relevant risk factors, LAA interventional therapy were reviewed.
