[Abstract] Cardiotoxicity is a serious complication in the course of anti-tumor chemotherapy, which significantly reduces the life quality of children with leukemia and improves the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events. Therefore, it is important to find subclinical cardiotoxicity and cardiac dysfunction as soon as possible to prevent and reduce the toxic and side effects of chemotherapy drugs on the heart. This article reviews the role of MRI in detecting cardiac toxicity of children with leukemia after chemotherapy and aims to provide rich and comprehensive information for the extensive application of MRI in the diagnosis, monitoring, efficacy evaluation, and prognosis judgment of cardiotoxicity after chemotherapy in children. Expecting that clinicians can find cardiac toxicity as early as possible by using cardiac magnetic resonance examination when carrying out chemotherapy for children with leukemia, so as to adjust the drug regimen to ensure the balance between treatment effect and reducing cardiac toxicity.
