AJNR Am J Neuroradiol

April 2024

From the Department of Radiology (B.B., L.H., Y.C., X.P., Y.S., H.W., D.Q., H. Zhang, F.M., L.Z.), Jilin Provincial Key Laboratory of Medical Imaging and Big Data, Radiology and Technology Innovation Center of Jilin Province, Jilin Provincial International Joint Research Center of Medical Artificial Intelligence, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin, China

Background And Purpose: The habenula is a key node in the regulation of emotion-related behavior. Accurate visualization of the habenula and its reliable quantitative analysis is vital for the assessment of psychiatric disorders. To obtain high-contrast habenula images and allow them to be compatible with clinical applications, this preliminary study compared 3T MP2RAGE and quantitative susceptibility mapping with MPRAGE by evaluating the habenula segmentation performance.

Article Synopsis
  • The habenula (Hb) plays a key role in various human behaviors, and its size and neural activity changes are linked to psychiatric disorders and addiction, which recent MRI studies have begun to explore.* -
  • Despite its small size, advancements in MRI techniques have improved the ability to study the Hb, although traditional structural imaging methods have limitations in distinguishing the Hb from nearby areas.* -
  • The review emphasizes the importance of using noninvasive MRI methods to better understand the Hb's anatomy and functions, proposing that multiparametric MRI could aid in developing useful imaging markers for diagnosis and treatment.*
