title: [HM-PAO cerebral blood flow scintigraphy in the manifestation stage of brain death].
abstract: We monitored 27 patients with HM-PAO-perfusion scintigraphy during the progress of cerebral death. The results of scintigraphy correlate well with cerebral angiography. Advantages are the possibility of bedside-examination, the non-invasiveness of the method and the possibility of in-vivo control. The non-visualized-brain in dynamic scintigraphy is a valuable additional method in the determination and documentation of cerebral death.
