Optical spectroscopy to enable screening in the liver transplant theatre
The project is based around the concept of using Raman Spectroscopy as a method to assess the quality of organs prior to transplantation. The sensing is the measurement of metabolic profiles in an effort to determine signatures of organ health. The analysis is in the local, automated processing of spectra in order to reduce their complexity and communicate their contents in a way that quickly informs clinical decision making.
