Abstract:

Autism is now widely viewed as a neurodevelopmental disorder. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, including voxelbased morphormetry and diffusion tensor imaging, have been applied to study autism. In this paper, the recent literature in this area was reviewed. It was showed that structural MRI is a powerful technique that holds great promise to understand the pathology of autism.

Key words: MRI, brain structure, autism
