Confirmation of brain death using optical methods based on tracking of an optical contrast agent: assessment of diagnostic feasibility
Abstract We aimed to determine whether optical methods based on bolus tracking of an optical contrast agent are useful for the confirmation of cerebral circulation cessation in patients being evaluated for brain death. Different stages of cerebral perfusion disturbance were compared in three groups...
