Magnetic resonance predicts the risk of recurrence of depression

The University of London's King's College released a study on the 7th that using functional magnetic resonance imaging technology, medical staff can more accurately determine which of the major depressive patients in rehabilitation are more likely to relapse.

Magnetic resonance predicts the risk of recurrence of depression

Researchers from King's College London and the University of Manchester performed a functional magnetic resonance imaging scan of 64 patients with major depression but whose symptoms had resolved to study changes in their brains.

After the scan, the researchers followed these patients for 14 months, and eventually 27 patients had recurrence of depression.

The researchers found that from the scan results, the reciprocal relationship between the two parts of the recurrent patient's brain, the anterior temporal lobe and the sub-abdominal area, became very high, and this phenomenon was not observed in patients with persistent symptoms.

To further validate, the researchers asked another group of 39 people to undergo this imaging scan. None of them have personal and family history of major depression. The results showed that there was no strong correlation between the two parts of their brain.

According to the researchers, according to the above characteristics of the brain, they can judge whether the depression patients in rehabilitation will relapse, and the accuracy rate can reach about 75%.

Roland Zahn, a scholar at King's College London, said the new method needed more testing and improvement to increase the accuracy to 80%. By then, it can be used clinically, thus filling the gap that there is no way to accurately predict the probability of recurrence of depression.
