Visualization of bullet track and bullet by radionuclide brain scintigraphy.

Radionuclide brain scintigraphy is a commonly performed examination for the confirmation of brain death. Although the absence of scintigraphically detectable flow of lipophilic tracers to the brain combined with the lack of uptake in the brain is considered consistent with brain death in the appropriate clinical scenario, the cause of death itself is usually not apparent on the scan. A case of bullet track and bullet visualization during a radionuclide brain death study with Tc-99m hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HMPAO) is described.
