title: [Computer tomography studies in irreversible cerebral function loss (brain death)].
abstract: 12 patients, whose neurological findings had induced the procedure of brain death determination, and further 4 young children were examined correspondently by special CT methods. In conclusion cranial computerized tomography as a non-invasive method seems to be useful alternatively beside cerebral angiography for the documentation of cerebral circulation arrest.
