ASSESSMENT OF EX VIVO DONOR LUNGS USING LUNG RADIOGRAPHS

Abstract: methods, devices, and systems for predicting transplant suitability of an ex vivo donor lung and/or patient outcome following transplant of the donor lung are described. for example, the method comprises: measuring in a radiograph of the donor lung at least two radiographic features in a plurality of lobes; determining in each of the lobes of the plurality of lobes a lobar score for each of the radiographic features measured; combining the lobar score of each of the lobes of the plurality of lobes to generate a radiograph lung score for each of the radiographic features measured; comparing the radiograph lung score with a control radiograph lung score or a cut-off level for a corresponding radiographic feature; and predicting the transplant suitability of the donor lung and/or patient outcome following transplant of the donor lung based on the comparison of the radiograph lung score with the control radiograph lung score or cut-off level.
