BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Lack of cerebral circulation is an important confirmatory
test for brain death (BD). Conventional angiography remains the standard imaging method …

Introduction The standardized diagnostic criteria for computed tomographic angiography
(CTA) in diagnosis of brain death (BD) are not yet established. The aim of the study was to …

Background Physiological instability and confounding factors may interfere with the clinical
diagnosis of brain death. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) has been suggested as …

Background Several complications make the diagnosis of brain death (BD) medically
challenging and a complimentary method is needed for confirmation. In this context …

Introduction Ancillary testing is frequently required in the determination of death by brain
criteria, particularly in cases in which the clinical examination is drawn into question. Newer …

Brain death is defined as the irreversible cessation of functioning of the entire brain,
including the brainstem. Brain death is principally established using clinical criteria including …

Background In the diagnosis of brain death (BD), computed tomography angiography (CTA)
results in some cases show intracranial filling, leading to diagnostic confusion. Because …

OBJECTIVE: This study examined the validity of cerebral computed tomographic (CT)
angiography in the diagnosis of brain death (BD) compared with conventional cerebral …

OBJECTIVE For a diagnosis of brain death (BD), ancillary testing is performed if patient
factors prohibit a complete clinical examination and apnea test. The American Academy of …

Introduction Although the diagnosis of brain death (BD) is usually based on clinical criteria,
in sedated patients, ancillary techniques are needed. This study was designed to assess the …
