[Abstract] Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor in women. MRI has played a great role in the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of breast cancer due to its good tissue resolution and absence of radiation, and a lot of research has been conducted. With the increasing availability of high-precision diagnosis and treatment data, breast MRI imaging histology has shown the potential to be used more and more. The study searched PubMed, China Knowledge Network, and Wanfang database for literature on MRI imaging histology in breast cancer prognosis research, and summarized and analyzed the software used, the research process, and the research results. This paper focuses on the research methods, such as platform selection, image segmentation, feature extraction, verification queue selection, and image selection, used in MRI imaging histology in breast cancer prognosis and the prognostic application of combined models, to provide valuable imaging information to clinicians focusing on the prognosis of breast cancer patients and to assist in the precision treatment of breast cancer.
