Abstract：Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease can not only involve the lungs but also cause systemic adverse reactions,and extrapulmonary effects can aggravate its severity,in which brain damage is gradually gaining attention from researchers.In recent years,neurological imaging technology has made great progress,especially based on voxel morphometry,diffusion tensor imaging,magnetic resonance spectroscopy and functional magnetic resonance imaging,which can not only non-invasively observe and detect the morphology and structure of the body,but also provide microcosmic information such as functional metabolism.This article reviews the characteristics,possible mechanism and research status of brain structural and functional changes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease from the perspective of MRI multi-parameter imaging,with a view to the more extensive and mature application of MRI in the field of neuroscience and the study of central nervous system diseases.Thus,it provides a new method and important information for further study and study of the pathophysiological mechanism of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,clinical diagnosis and treatment and prognosis of the disease.
