Subcortical hyperintensity on magnetic resonance imaging: a comparison of normal and depressed elderly subjects
CE Coffey, GS Figiel, WT Djang and RD Weiner
Department of Psychiatry, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC 27710.
Subcortical hyperintensity on T2-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging
was significantly more common and more severe in elderly depressed patients
referred for ECT than in a matched control group of normal elderly
subjects. The potential clinical and research implications of these
findings are discussed.
