[Abstract] The lung MRI technology has been a great challenge in medical treatment for a long time. In the past 10 years, thanks to the rapid development of technology, MRI has great potential in the application of structural and functional imaging assessment of pulmonary diseases. Fast 4D acquisition with free breath, microstructure functional imaging and AI based on the clinical management strategy would be the potential research. In this review, we focus on the currently available MR functional imaging, quantitative imaging, new technologies independently developed in China and the application of artificial intelligence for pulmonary MRI, comparing with the international research, to find out the potential research in the future, in order to provide reference for the research and continuous innovation of lung MRI technology in China.
