[Abstract] The incidence of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is rising gradually and has become the second common cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of permanent disability. Multimodal magnetic resonance imaging provides useful information for diagnosis, treatment choice, and prognosis assessment through comprehensive evaluation by multi-parameter and multi-sequence imaging. In recent years, MRI technique to predict prognosis and outcome of AIS has become a research hotspot. This review summarizes the progress of multimodal MRI in the diagnosis and prognosis assessment of acute ischemic stroke.
