Abstract

Organ transplantation survival rates have continued to improve over the last decades, mostly due to reduction of mortality early after transplantation. The advancement of the field is facilitating a liberalization of the access to organ transplantation with more patients with higher risk profile being added to the waiting list. At the same time, the persisting organ shortage fosters strategies to rescue organs of marginal donors. In this regard, hypothermic and normothermic machine perfusion are recognized as one of the most important developments in the modern era. Owing to these developments, novel non-invasive tools for the assessment of organ quality are on the horizon. Hyperspectral imaging represents a potentially suitable method capable of evaluating tissue morphology and organ perfusion prior to transplantation. Considering the changing environment, we here discuss the hypothetical combination of organ machine perfusion and hyperspectral imaging as a prospective feasibility concept in organ transplantation.
