Abstract
Brain-MR studies are sensitive to intracranial ischemia and vascular flow. However, brain MR study for brain death is clinically limited because keeping the ventilation is difficult during study. In our hospital, three ‘brain death patients’ brain-MR studies were performed under the anesthetic Mapleson’s circuit-F system. Three patients’ clinical states were not changed after the studies. We confirmed that brain herniation, absent intracranial flow void, no intracranial contrast enhancement, poor gray/white matter differentiation, and prominent nasal enhancement findings. The value of brain-MR study for brain death may be possible.KeyWords:Brain death, Brain-MR study, Mapleson’s circuit-F (Jackson-Knee circuit, non-rebreathing technique) system
