Core Tip	Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a prevalent brain-gut axis disorder, however, the diagnosis is based mainly on Rome Criteria which concentrates on the gastrointestinal tract with ignorance of the brain-gut axis. Furthermore, the Rome criteria are not suitable for patients with cognitive decline. Therefore, tools to address the above diagnostic gaps are highly relevant. In this review, we gave a broader insight into the role of abdominal and brain imaging in diagnosing IBS. The findings, the difference between diarrhea-predominant and constipation-predominant IBS, gender, geography, and cultural background, and the pros and cons of different imaging were discussed.
