[Abstract] Due to the extremely suppressed or even destroyed immune system of HIV carriers, AIDS often causes various opportunistic infections or related neoplasms to impair organs. Meanwhile, the complications of AIDS are the main causes of death in AIDS patients, the keys for improving the therapeutic efficacy of AIDS and life quality of AIDS patients are early identification of HIV carriers, advanced prevention of AIDS complications and accurate diagnosis of AIDS. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can make differential diagnosis of inflammation, edema, neoplasms, especially of central nervous systems disease because of its high-resolution to soft tissue, and MR spectroscopy can determine the changes of body metabolites. So MR imaging techniques play an important role in early diagnosis, evaluation of therapeutic effect, following up of AIDS patients.
