Confirmation of brain death using brain radionuclide perfusion imaging technique.
OBJECTIVE To determine the reliability of radionuclide cerebral blood perfusion imaging in confirming brain death irrespective of continued heartbeat. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twenty-eight patients (19 male and 9 female, aged 17-63 years) with severe brain injury and fully supported until the final cardiac asystole were included in the study. Two sets of clinical tests aimed at ascertaining brain...
متن کاملCLINICAL REPORT BRAIN CT Perfusion for Confirmation of Brain Death
SUMMARY: For pronouncing brain death, unlike CTP, the 2-phase CTA gives no functional information and is limited by inadvertent delay of the second acquisition, which may give false-negative results. The purpose of our study was to compare CTP and CTA derived from the CTP data with the Dupas and Frampas criteria for confirmation of brain death. A retrospective review of CTP in 11 consecutive pa...
متن کاملClinical Brain Death with False Positive Radionuclide Cerebral Perfusion Scans
Practice guidelines from the American Academy of Neurology for the determination of brain death in adults define brain death as "the irreversible loss of function of the brain, including the brainstem." Neurological determination of brain death is primarily based on clinical examination; if clinical criteria are met, a definitive confirmatory test is indicated. The apnea test remains the gold s...
متن کاملBrain death: rapid evaluation using computerized radionuclide cerebral flow study.
Demonstration of arrested intracerebral blood flow is the ultimate evidence of brain death. Computerized radionuclide cerebral flow study was done on 18 patients diagnosed clinically as brain dead. Correlation was made with clinical neurophysiological and EEG findings. The criteria for diagnosis of arrested intracerebral perfusion using radionuclide flow study were: non-visualization of blood f...
متن کاملIranian Brain Imaging Database: A Neuropsychiatric Database of Healthy Brain
Introduction: The Iranian Brain Imaging Database (IBID) was initiated in 2017, with 5 major goals: provide researchers easy access to a neuroimaging database, provide normative quantitative measures of the brain for clinical research purposes, study the aging profile of the brain, examine the association of brain structure and function, and join the ENIGMA consortium. Many prestigious databases...
