Quantitative contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis and grading of hepatic steatosis in brain-dead donors.

Quant Imaging Med Surg

January 2025

Organ Transplant Center, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Sun Yat-sen University, Zhongshan City People's Hospital, Zhongshan, China.

Background: The presence of hepatic steatosis (HS) is a crucial histological parameter for evaluating the suitability of liver transplantation. However, to date, no studies have used contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) to diagnose and grade HS in brain-dead donors. This study aimed to detect and quantify hepatic microcirculatory perfusion in brain-dead donors using CEUS and to assess the utility of CEUS in the diagnosis and grading of HS.

Evaluation of Liver Volume Estimation Methods in Living Donor Liver Transplant: CT Volumetry vs MeVis, With Comparison of Open and Laparoscopic Surgery.

Transplant Proc

January 2025

Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary & Transplant Surgery, Singapore General Hospital, Singapore; SingHealth Duke-NUS Transplant Centre, Singapore; Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore.

Background: Accurately assessing graft volume is crucial for donor and recipient safety in living donor liver transplantation. This can be performed using manual computed tomography volumetry (CTvol) or semiautomated methods (MeVis). We aimed to compare CTvol and MeVis in estimating the actual graft weight during LDLT, and analyse any differences in weight between laparoscopic and open donor hepatectomy.
