Zusammenfassung
Aims: Traditionally the diagnosis of brain death is established on the basis of a combination of clinical signs and paraclinical methods. The picture giving did not play a role during the diagnostic safety device. The study investigated the potency of different magnetic resonance (MRI) techniques to evaluate brain death after brain injury or spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage. Material and methods: In 10 patients, follow up examinations in deep coma and after evaluation of brain death (according to the German guidelines) were performed in 1.5 Tesla MRT (INTERA, Philips Co) with coronal diffusion-weighted spin…
