The hippocampus is a vital component of the limbic system, crucial for memory processing and involved in numerous neurological and psychiatric disorders. Accurate imaging is essential for diagnosing and managing hippocampal-related diseases. Imaging of the hippocampus is possible using ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is the preferred modality for evaluating the hippocampus due to its superior soft tissue contrast and advanced techniques, such as functional MRI (fMRI), diffusion-weighted imaging, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). While CT is useful in specific clinical scenarios like trauma and hemorrhage, MRI remains the gold standard for detailed analysis of hippocampal anatomy and pathology. Developments in imaging technologies continue to improve our understanding of hippocampal anatomy and hippocampal-related disorders.
