The study aims were to compare pulse oximetry and multispectral imaging (MSI), for intraoperative tracking of uterine oxygen saturation in animal UTx models (rabbit and sheep). Results/methodology: Imaging results confirmed the re-establishment of adequate perfusion in the transplanted organ after surgery. Comparison of oxygen saturation values between the pre-UTx donor and post-UTx recipient, and pre-UTx and post-UTx recipient reveals a statistically significant decrease in saturation levels post-UTx. Conclusion: The use of MSI is the first case in gynecology and has demonstrated promise of possible future human use. MSI technique has advantages over pulse oximetry – it provides spatial information in a real-time, noncontact manner. date: 2018-04 date_type: published publisher: Future Science Ltd official_url: https://doi.org/10.4155/fsoa-2017-0129 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1844495 doi: 10.4155/fsoa-2017-0129 lyricists_name: Clancy, Neil lyricists_id: NCLAN93 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Future Science OA volume: 4 number: 4 article_number: FSO286 citation: Saso, S; Clancy, NT; Jones, BP; Bracewell-Milnes, T; Al-Memar, M; Cannon, EM; Ahluwalia, S; ...
