[Abstract] With the rapid development of magnetic resonance software and hardware technology and the development and application of thyroid surface coil, the image quality of thyroid magnetic resonance imaging is obviously improved, and it also plays an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases. This paper reviewed the applications of magnetic resonance imaging in thyroid cancer and elaborated the application status and research progress of conventional magnetic resonance imaging and functional magnetic resonance imaging in thyroid cancer. In addition, we prospected the future development direction and application prospect of thyroid magnetic resonance imaging in this study. In order to provide important reference for the clinical treatment and surgical planning of thyroid cancer, and promote the clinical research and application of magnetic resonance imaging of thyroid cancer.
