The radionuclide brain perfusion study (RPS) has been suggested as a method of confirming suspected brain death. The hospital records and RPSs of 34 patients referred were reviewed because brain death was suspected. In every case but one the RPS showed absent or drastically reduced cerebral blood flow. No patient survived more than five days, and 25 survived less than 24 hours. These findings are consistent with the results of previous reports of a total of 248 patients; only one of 248 survived and was discharged from the hospital after having had a positive RPS. The RPS is highly accurate in confirming brain death.
放射性核素脑灌注研究（RPS）已被提议作为一种确诊疑似脑死亡的方法。由于怀疑脑死亡，对转诊的34例患者的医院记录和RPS进行了回顾。除1例患者外，在其他所有病例中，RPS均显示脑血流缺失或显著减少。没有患者存活超过5天，25例患者存活时间不到24小时。这些发现与之前共248例患者的报告结果一致；248例患者中只有1例存活，并在RPS呈阳性后出院。RPS在确诊脑死亡方面高度准确。
