Determination of brain death with 123I-IMP and 99mTc-HM-PAO
Neurosurgical Review
|January 1, 1987
Abstract:
Brain imaging with radiolabeled amines, 123I-IMP and 99mTc-HM-PAO, is a rapid, safe, and specific bedside test for confirming brain death in the absence of cerebral blood flow. Therapeutic phenobarbital or thiopental levels do not interfere with the cerebral penetration ability of the lipophilic radiopharmacons.
