[Abstract] Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neuropsychiatric developmental disorder, which seriously endangers the physical and mental health of children. It may affect the patients' social interaction and learning ability all their lives, and cause serious burden to the family and society. The early symptoms are not typical, and the clinical diagnosis is mainly made by the relevant scale, which has strong subjectivity and poor stability. In recent years, the development of magnetic resonance imaging technology has explored the abnormal changes of brain structure and brain function in patients with ASD, trying to provide more objective basis for early diagnosis and gain valuable treatment time. This paper reviews the relevant literature in recent years and summarizes the progress of magnetic resonance imaging in the study of autism spectrum disorders.
