The brain structural imaging changes in patients with post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) and the related research progress are reviewed. It is elucidated that the volume decrease and the density reductions of gray and white matters in PTSD patients are mainly manifested as the imaging changes of the hippocampus, callus, and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). The imaging change of callus is characteristic in PTSD patients. The image structure analyses of the white matter and gray matter are the current frontiers and strategic trends of PTSD-related research. Meanwhile, it is pointed out that the relationship between PTSD and brain structure imaging is a problem needs to be urgently solved.
