[Abstract] In recent years, medical imaging technology has been widely used in acupuncture Taixi (KI3) brain central effect mechanism research. According to the relevant literature reports, the application of functional magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission technology of acupuncture KI3 research mainly focused on the distribution of activated brain area, acupuncture mechanism analysis, single point and group point and so on. As a common acupoint in clinical practice, KI3 has remarkable curative effect with single use and compatibility. A large number of studies have shown that the mechanism of acupuncture KI3 and its related points to improve clinical efficacy is realized through the integration and coordination of multiple brain regions. Through reading the literature, this paper analyzes the overall research trend in this field, summarizes the achievements and shortcomings of related topics, and provides direction guidance for the follow-up scientific research work.
