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.).
