[Abstract] Acute pancreatitis is a common clinical acute abdomen with local and systematic complications. According to clinical manifestations and prognosis, the revised Atlanta classification defines three degrees of severity: mild acute pancreatitis, moderately severe acute pancreatitis, and severe acute pancreatitis. In recent years, incidence rate of acute pancreatitis increases gradually and mortality is relatively high in severe acute pancreatitis. Computed tomography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are common radiological technologies in acute pancreatitis clinically. Owing to multiple imaging parameters, MRI has excellent soft tissue contrast resolution and good evaluation capability of biliary and pancreatic duct. Despite the application in morphology, advanced MR techniques such as diffusion-weighted imaging and radiomics, help uncover underlying changes of pancreas and imaging biomarkers for classification and prognosis. Numerous studies use MRI to explore various factors related to the severity and prognosis of acute pancreatitis. The purpose of this article is to review the application advances of MRI in acute pancreatitis in recent years.
