Summary Aim: Determination of the range of regional blood flow and fluoride influx during normal incorporation of revascularized fibula grafts used for mandibular reconstruction. Evaluation, if healing complications are preceded by typical deviations of these parameters from the normal range. Assessment of the potential influence of using “scaled population-derived” instead of “individually measured” input functions in quantitative analysis. Methods: Dynamic F-l 8-PET images and arterialized venous blood samples were obtained in 11 patients early and late after surgery. Based on kinetic modeling regional blood flow (K1) and fluoride influx (Kmlf) were determined. Results: In uncomplicated cases, early postoperative graft K1 - but not Kmlf -exceeded that of vertebrae as reference region. Kmn values obtained in graft necrosis (n = 2) were below the ranges of values observed in uncomplicated healing (0.01 13-0.0745 ml/min/ml) as well as that of the reference region (0.0154-0.0748). Knf values in mobile non-union were in the lower range - and those in rigid non-union in the upper range of values obtained in stable union (0.021 1-0.0694). If scaled population-derived instead of measured input functions were used for quantification, mean deviations of 23 ± 17% in K1 and 12 ± 16% in Kmlf were observed. Conclusions: Normal healing of predominantly cortical bone transplants is characterized by relatively low osteoblastic activity together with increased perfusion. It may be anticipated that transplant necrosis can be identified by showing markedly reduced F− influx. In case that measured input functions are not available, quantification with scaled population-derived input functions is appropriate if expected differences in quantitative parameters exceed 70%.

The neurological determination of death in patients with isolated brainstem lesions or by disruption of the posterior cerebral circulation is uncommon and many intensivists may never see such a case in their career. It is also the only major difference between the “whole brain” and “brain stem” formulations for the neurological determination of death. We present a case of a patient with infarction of the structures supplied by the posterior cerebral circulation in whom death was diagnosed using neurological criteria, to illustrate the issues involved. We also suggest that international consensus may be achieved if ancillary tests, such as CT angiography, are made mandatory in this situation o demonstrate loss of blood flow in the anterior cerebral circulation as well the posterior circulation.
