[Abstract] Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially life-threatening disease that requires timely and accurate diagnosis and management. In recent years, with the rapid development of software and hardware, the study of pulmonary embolism magnetic resonance imaging is very popular. This review focus on the examination techniques, common scan sequences, contrast medium and diagnosis accuracy of pulmonary embolism MRI, and predict its tendency in the future.
