Instrumental methods of investigation, such as positron emission tomography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography

and evoked potential measurement, yield a lot of information useful for differential diagnosis and for determining the prognosis of patients in

a vegetative state. Consequently, they also allow for a better understanding of how the brain of a patient in a vegetative state works.

Keywords: vegetative state, cerebral metabolism, functional magnetic resonance imaging
