Magnetic resonance (MR) examination provides a powerful tool for investigating brain
structural changes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We review recent
advances in the understanding of structural MR correlates of ASD. We summarize findings
from studies based on voxel-based morphometry, surface-based morphometry, tensor-
based morphometry, and diffusion-tensor imaging. Finally, we discuss diagnostic models of
ASD based on MR-derived features.
