Subcortical hyperintensity on magnetic resonance imaging: a comparison of normal and depressed elderly subjects

C E Coffey et al. Am J Psychiatry. 1990 Feb.

Abstract

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.
