 CT Scan (before)

  • An initial CT scan showed a normal CT according to age. There were no signs of ischemia.
  • Initial SPECT study (before brain death) showed massive perfusion deficit in the areas supplied by the anterior and middle cerebral arteries.
  • A repeat SPECT study after 3 days showed NO cerebral perfusion, indicating brain death.
