✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Diffuse necrosis and autolysis were found in the brains from 6 comatose, respirator‐supported patients in whom the bolus technique demonstrated no cerebral blood flow during a period exceeding 20 hours prior to cardiac death. When blood flow was insufficient to produce a bolus, there was no evidence of active tissue response to necrosis. In 6 similar patients when cerebral blood flow was detected by the bolus technique, less extensive necrosis was observed postmortem and there was active tissue response.

## Abstract An innocuous intravenous portable radioisotopic test using technetium 99m pertechnetate was employed to demonstrate the deficit of cerebral blood flow associated with brain death. The results are compared to those of bilateral carotid and vertebral angiography in 20 patients. Absence of
