The normal biodistribution of technetium-99m HM-PAO ([99mTc]HM-PAO) includes significant uptake in the brain, liver, and kidneys. A pregnant patient studied with [99mTc] HM-PAO to confirm brain death provided an opportunity to examine the transplacental distribution of this radio-pharmaceutical in the unborn fetus. Uptake in the fetus after transplacental delivery is almost exclusively hepatic with a small amount of biliary excretion.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D001926 Brain Death A state of prolonged irreversible cessation of all brain activity, including lower brain stem function with the complete absence of voluntary movements, responses to stimuli, brain stem reflexes, and spontaneous respirations. Reversible conditions which mimic this clinical state (e.g., sedative overdose, hypothermia, etc.) are excluded prior to making the determination of brain death.
