A 43-year-old woman had melancholic major depression and mild incoordination. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed extensive lesions of the cerebral white matter that were not detected on a computed tomography (CT) scan. Since multiple sclerosis may initially present as depression, the differential sensitivities of MRI and CT scanning should be considered in deciding which neurodiagnostic studies should be conducted in depressed patients.
一名43岁女性患有忧郁型重度抑郁症且有轻度共济失调。磁共振成像（MRI）扫描显示脑白质有广泛病变，而计算机断层扫描（CT）未检测到这些病变。由于多发性硬化症最初可能表现为抑郁症，因此在决定对抑郁症患者应进行哪些神经诊断检查时，应考虑MRI和CT扫描的不同敏感性。
