Organ Viability Assessment in Transplantation based on Data-driven Modeling
… Even worse, the lack of accurate non-invasive assessment methods wastes 20% of donor organs every year. Currently, the most frequently used organ assessment methods are visual inspections and biopsy. Yet both methods are subjective: the assessment accuracy depends on the evaluator's experience. …

Cryopreservation of pancreatic islets
… of permeabilising polymers. Current methods of viability assessment were critically examined and improved, followed by systematic screening of cryopreservation conditions. The efficacy of promising cryopreservation protocols were subsequently confirmed for mouse pancreatic islets using viability …

Computer Aided Analysis of Late Gadolinium Enhanced Cardiac MRI
Viability assessment of the myocardium after myocardial infarction is essential for diagnosis and therapy planning. Among various clinical cardiac scans, late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can directly visualize and thus discriminate non-viable myocardium (i.e., …
