Vascular depression for radiology: A review of the construct, methodology, and diagnosis

Figure 1 Discrimination of vascular depression and non-vascular depression white matter hyperintensities. In non-vascular depression (non-VD) patients, deep white matter hyperintensities are occasionally present, though are few in number and do not begin to converge, as is common in VD patients. Periventricular white matter hyperintensities are more likely to be present in both VD and non-VD patients. VD: Vascular depression; DWMH: Deep white matter hyperintensities; PVWMH: Periventricular white matter hyperintensities.
