[Abstract] Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is widely used in clinical interventions for depression, but its efficacy varies, possibly due to differences in target site localization. In recent years, with the development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, the use of MRI structural and functional data to identify TMS targets for antidepressant effects has become a research hotspot. Therefore, this review summarized the application progress of MRI in TMS target site selection for depression treatment, including the following aspects: Precise brain region delineation and definition of millimeter-level target coordinates using MRI structural imaging; Determination of individualized stimulation target locations by calculating functional connectivity and effective connectivity parameters from MRI functional imaging; The use of MRI structural imaging for assisted targeting to help operators accurately locate the target stimulation sites. This review aims to compile relevant research and provide references for improving the clinical efficacy of TMS.
