Hyperspectral imaging in living and deceased donor kidney transplantation.

Objective And Background: Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is an innovative, noninvasive technique that assesses tissue and organ perfusion and oxygenation. This study aimed to evaluate HSI as a predictive tool for early postoperative graft function and long-term outcomes in living donor (LD) and deceased donor (DD) kidney transplantation (KT).

Patients And Methods: HSI of kidney allograft parenchyma from 19 LD and 51 DD kidneys was obtained intraoperatively 15 minutes after reperfusion.
