Liver Transplants

A successful organ transplantation depends on sufficient perfusion and oxygen supply after reconnection of the vessels.

Measurements of oxygen saturation and hemoglobin amount in the isolated perfused rat liver show patterns of anatomical structures that represent the liver acini (Fig. 1 und 2). Changes in oxygen saturation and hemoglobin amount can now be observed.
With O2C you can only get averaged values over the whole area of the depicted high resolution measurement, but those measurements reflect very good local condition of liver and oxygen and blood supply during different manipulations (occlusion of portal vein or liver artery, etc.).
