[Abstract] Cognitive impairment is a main symptom of brain damage in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.The cognitive function decline of T2DM patients may be mediated by microvascular injury which caused by chronic hyperglycemia.We reviewed the anatomy, pathology and MRI features of cerebral small vascular disease (CSVD)(recent small subcortical infarct, lacune, white matter hyperintensity, perivascular space, cerebral microbleed, cortical superficial siderosis, cortical microinfarct, atrophy), the CSVD factors of cognitive decline in T2DM patients, and the progress of radiomics research of CSVD MRI features in this paper, in order to provide ideas for further research and clinical diagnosis and treatment.
