What the research is about
Used the Fish Analyzer to do an easy measurement of liver steatosis (fatty liver) without pathological diagnosis may help improve donor surgery efficiency and increase the chances of organ donations. We analyzed the correlations between bio-electrical impedance (BI) in human livers, liver fat content, and pathological findings.
Research conclusion
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) analysis is a simple, non-invasive method that can be easily applied to evaluate liver steatosis. BI measurements correlated well with the percentage of liver macrosteatosis (Pearson correlation coefficient: 0.73). Thus, their study showed that direct BI measurements of the liver may predict liver steatosis.
Assurant Innovations take
Fish Analyzer is not only used for fish but many other applications as well. This time to measure human liver for fatty liver (liver steatosis) to determine if the liver is good enough for medical donership. Fish Analyzer is a quick, easy to use, portable and non destructive method that is a great option for medical use.
