[Abstract] Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is the earliest symptom of Alzheimer's disease with a high incidence. Due to the lack of objectively quantified diagnostic gold standard, the diagnosis of SCD is mainly through clinical evaluation, which is prone to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. This article reviewed the application of structural magnetic resonance, functional magnetic resonance, diffusion tensor imaging, and arterial spin labeling in the brain structure and function of patients with SCD. The dynamic progression trend of SCD was confirmed by multimodal MRI, providing more information for the diagnosis of SCD, the assessment of the severity of cognitive decline and the prognosis of SCD.
