As issued by the authors
Cerebral CT angiography is the ancillary investigation of choice when death cannot be confirmed by clinical criteria alone (100% specificity; available in all acute hospitals in the UK).
A standardised technique for performing the investigation is described alongside a reporting template.
No recommendations could be made for ancillary testing in children or patients receiving ECMO.
