[Abstract] Late-life depression (LLD), as a heterogeneous syndrome, is a common clinical psychiatric disorder. At present, the pathophysiological mechanism of senile depression is not clear, and many previous studies often emphasize that its occurrence is related to vascular damage, nerve inflammation and other changes. With the development of imaging technology, more and more neuroimaging studies have shown that the pathogenesis of senile depression is closely related to changes in brain structure, brain function and brain metabolism. As a non-invasive examination method, imaging technology is becoming more and more mature. Compared with the widely used clinical diagnosis methods, it can provide more visual evidence and reduce the error caused by subjective factors. Now, imaging has been widely used in the study of neurobiological mechanism of senile depression, which provides new ideas and treatment methods for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation of senile depression. This article will review the study of imaging in senile depression.
