[Abstract] Heat stroke is a fatal emergency, which has a poor prognosis and often causes multiple organ dysfunction including central nervous system. The pathophysiological basis of central nervous system complications of heat stroke includes cerebral hypoperfusion, inflammatory reaction, thrombosis and microbleeds, which lead to different imaging manifestations. Therefore, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), magnetic resonance venography (MRV), susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) have the potential value to provide quantitative and objective evidence for the diagnosis, clinical treatment and prognosis of heat stroke. This article reviews the various MRI techniques used in the central nervous system of heat stroke.
