[Abstract] As a major method of molecular imaging, molecular magnetic resonance imaging (mMRI) has overwhelming advantages and broad application prospect. In recent years, major progresses were made in this field, especially on the development of novel molecular probes and imaging sequences. The successful application of activatable probes, fluorine 19 contrast agents, Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer imaging and hyperpolarization techniques have broadened the application of mMRI. In addition, the mMRI has also been applied in the early diagnosis, metabolic imaging, cell tracking and gene analysis in various diseases. Although much strength is to be addressed before the clinical translation of the mMRI, the developing imaging techniques will guarantee the important role that mMRI will play in both the basic and clinical research.
